In the
cool aisle, he and I
with the wide-mouths and the half racks
the cold-filtered and the
corked
necks.
In the cool aisle, he and I
played at being another
couple,
the cold-filtered and the corked necks,
at a loss in the other isles.
Played at being another couple
while we
strangled each other with
lanyards
at a loss in the other isles
where the
sea salt stacks up so
high
While we strangled each other with lanyards
and swore like sailors
where the sea salt stacks up so high
as to cause
interference with
life.
And
swore like sailors
as we
fucked at such a
frequency
as to
cause interference with life.
In the
north there has always been a
town,
As we fucked at such a frequency
and the
sun never
rose in the north.
There has
always been a town
with a name that is one long
vowel sound.
And the sun
never rose.
All I wanted was to
sleep near him
with a
name that is one long vowel sound
and the
dark riggings tied
thick around -
All I
wanted to sleep
near him
with the
wide-mouths and the
half racks
and the dark riggings
tied thick around.
