trinity in two

by jay dee - Cancer








                  it is a fugue state
                  petals and pain
 
                  beaches in the moonlight
                  sand stuck between our toes

                  there is no real place left to go
                  and the drinks are dry again in our 
                              throats.

                  pale and bitter
                  the expanse of ocean laps so carefully

                  i wonder if there is a sea beneath your 
                  eyes.                waiting
               
                  for me to drown, specifically to
                  your needs.

                  flowers dance with a breeze, and 
                  far away a streetside vendor speaks
                   your 
                       name.   barrels of confusion spill,
                  and i stumble out, eyes unused
                  to the brightness.    sand in my visions.

                  the perpetual envelope engulfs
                  an effigy left by the milleneum babies

                  a prodigy of parallels disembarked
                  petals and pain, lost in the atmosphere

                  our hands locked against everything
                  except the electric impulse to scream and 
                                 decipher.

                  a trinity in two
                  dueting in the chaos.
