We live in identical rooms
We blankly wake, we greet
From one balcony to another
Successively for a hundred years
Between now and tomorrow
We will spend the rest of our days
Growing gardens out of angry stars

We live in identical rooms
We blankly wake, we greet
From one balcony to another
Successively for a hundred years
Between now and tomorrow
We will spend the rest of our days
Growing gardens out of angry stars

I obsess poppies
red as Betelgeuse
watch them bob and bow
as I suck at my coffee
and think of you
…
what do you think
as your yellow dress
drifts a cold shadow
against my sun
…
I retreat
to pace out the distance
between my door
and my window box
wondering at
the space on my wall
that should hold
a portrait
…
if I alter my angles
do yours mock
in parallel
