Summarize

X

photograph by author

i don’t think they know

how it feels to burn through time

but i don’t either

i totaled it out, we’re beautiful now. empirical evidence that we can out breathe them all. you said, i’m ready

they called you a tick on the wing of a butterfly. an able-bodied door stopper. -so you let the light in

a room has the right to divide itself. one for a trick twice the money as last night. you looked a little lucky

the sunrise sent you a heaven message, ‘tis breathing through the blood. we held hands

four scores and seven slumbers ago. you addressed yourself as X and we sucked in the smoke

for never was a promise as pretty as lacing your shoes for the long mile. you asked. i said-

three quarters of the keys are too high. the rest, just right. it’s only dna

we’re on a gnarly ride through the saw grass. you’re always just looking for a place to pray without having to kneel

waiting for something antithetical to cynicism. a sign of another time

we gasped and asked, an indelible freedom? you whispered, a rightful owner-

i tasted your sweat

i saw the fire in your eyes

you’ll always defy
