i know which stripes are yours.

the ones with the two toned twist

summer is the dust devil below the plateau

and an oryx in the distance. the dirt road

as straight as my mind is roped.

i do not want to look at you, is what i think in the dark.

do not turn the light on, i might kill you with these irises,

so sharp and blunt, so like me.

our forms fit.

me twisting every inch which way on the road of truth,

you, walking on water above it. but ever there,

the narrow of it, the grit on my tongue. our steps

sound way above the moon.

we tread through galaxies and we hurt the world.

we screw with love.

we cannot be.

we'd scorch the earth. god would hide.

my sunshine clutches feel happy with the holding

of you when you leave that coffin you need (so) i grab you tightly

in my heart in the twilight two tone zone
