you showed me your picture...the one before
the rapture, or the ruptured rapport
you were new with your baby blues
you're a falling leaf...the only grief
that has ever followed me into the dream.
one before the fall. sticking your head
in a fan turned to high...coldest setting.
open your mouth to no one home and wait.
your wings are making the waves.
you're the moon, the stars, the wind.
the darkest point in the sky is why
i lie awake at night and wonder if
we ever can make it...up against the grain.
one before the fall. a black nail polish,
chipped from holding yourself up
and picking up your broken wings; the
ones you didn't tear off yourself -
the first and last thing they took from you.
the only thing i know to say,
right now, is, "you're beautiful,"
but, somehow, that doesn't seem to be
enough and i'm lost without you here.
all the ripples lead back to the ocean
and to missing out on the life
that you thought you never had.
(this was originally titled "Too Beautiful", with the same date stamp that you all are accustomed to seeing with me. but, i didn't want it to seem sappy. i wrote this the other night, based on the quote line. i really like this. i hope you do too.)

nothing more than nothing less than the best of the only things that you ever offered me off the cuft in a run down booth in a checkered table cloth restaurant in Queens
