When I close my eyes tonight





When I close my eyes tonight


Language fragments us 

                                          to syllables, notes of

                                          short-lived cacophony

                                          A dim photograph reveals

                                          homecoming: against decree: 

                                          our motions, dialogues

                                          create styles -- hobbies 

                                          Manifold knots knit maze

                                          You orbit around the dark 

                                          bedroom with white curtains   

                                          Embracing bed doesn't 

                                          remember strains left by

                                          prior bondage 

                                          Naked flavor mutters

                                          raw stray vocabulary

                                          Warm flesh earns 

                                          cosmetic recognition 

                                          Lost symphony 

                                          echoes in empty vertebra
