On the road, we strike a match.
We wed in gold. We slick our hair
and pour a drink. The green light
weeps within. Salt rims and mustard teeth.
We stick our foot out at the last second.
The flat roofs grin. We spew fire
from vessels. The daybreak jailed.
A God somewhere repents, family beckons
What we pray is cold, a harmony
decomposed. At dawn, we lick
the red nectar, hastily inhale. At twilight,
the birds wail a singed chestnut note.
