30: It's Getting Late

I watched the burning wood

listening to guitar riffs and acid trips

taking the cigarette from your chapped lips

on the ash tray.

connected the dots of stars,

made pretty pictures of fire balls.

if I stare long enough

I can see the playground through these

vaseline eyes.

you were washing your hair

as I wrote poems out of clichés.

eventually we doze into slumber

and I dreamt

about your curls

and over sized sweatshirt.

you holding a cup of coffee

and smelling of polo cologne.

reciting poetry out of your

sultry mouth

and blood stained lips

smelling of smoke;

and your punker aesthetic.

and my soul grew happy

as our hearts grow loud.
