one night only

by e. h. - Libra

it's as simple
as anything...
he said.

shooting backwards
and falling
a graceful
perfect ten.

there are snakes
in the grass here
so i sit up high

throwing up songs
on six borrowed strings

and screaming my sorrows
all amped up and strung up
through speakers between
here and the neighbors

later i'm sure
pictures will emerge
and i'll wonder if my
eyes are always that
squinty

or if it was the light
beaming between the spotlight
and him

up there
falling through
the bliss and the madness
casting himself

my net
my saviour
my love

of tonight
