Poem: Goddamn mountain




Call me by your name




There are no stings to this answer
patience in a dream that is forbidden in reality
Teach me how to dance old man.
My limbs are heavy with dusk
Fireflies swarm to watch

 heat of your skin,
your woman isn’t here so spin me until I see fated stars.
 the girl that will find you,
Seeking you in every man I meet
Joining your sentences with spit
Wet summer, unholy retreat
I bet you taste like clean linen. 

Dust makes way for winter dirt
Push my bruises, 
make me rosy
the longest wavelength.

That’s your tongue
 this is New York
That’s a jazz guitar
 mine is easy work.
