If you read it I hope it presents itself to you properly.
good luck





We will be one.



His first words: static.
He held out his hands and wove a smoke,
Which I stumbled in;
Stumble in. My saving grace, un-ordinary.
He sent out electricity from his blue,
from his gray,
Eyes,
That contained a vulnerability; a secret.
I wanted to hide,
Fall on my knee’s,
And in my clammy hands,
Clutch the cross to my breast-
I would follow it above all else,
To prove my faith adamantine.
Yes his in-difference caused the smog to clear,
And my fingers, released; slightly.
Still I stayed vigilant,
And whispered silent prayers,
As I watched him speak.
His face would ignite,
With a muted passion,
Which he could
Barely,
Contain.
I held out my palms to
Catch,
His discarded sparks,
And let them tattoo my skin.
The silver flecks would dig into the lines
Of my skin, parasitic,
And hide, dormant,
Yet omnipresent;
I coveted them as
Infinitesimal reminders,
That the electricity with which he flared, Was not for me,
He lived for something else which I did not understand,
But it weathered him,
And I saw him soak in silence.
 I wanted him to soak in me.

My skin was singed,
Hairs reaching out like arms,
In a tribute of zealous reverence.
My body was ravaged,
By a persistent radiation,
A cancerous chemotherapy constantly
Sending energy through my veins,
Which hung as broken
Telephone wires:
Frayed, alighting,
E-lighting,
Un-lighting,
Un-extinguishable-
An archaic flame.
And his un-spoken conviction,
Un-spoken condition,


Left white dots in front of my eyes.
My seeing was ever-impaired,
And eventually it would succumb
To a platonic whiteness;
Albeit, my fault, for staring
Directly into the sun.
He shone and crackled,
An electronic rice-krispie,
Alighting in my mouth.
His eyes tasted like gold,
Weighing heavy and bitter on my tongue
Which was accustomed to cheap silver.
His words tasted like solidified enlightenment
And I would lie, crippled,
Savouring the ethereal knowledge with which
He electrocuted me epileptically.

His body tasted like the smoke he expelled,
and he left me coughing.
He was conceived of curiosity
And every bite of him,
Left me starving.
The hunger tore at me,
An empty book,
And I was only satisfied after I tore out the pages.
I could never tear out the pages.
Within the vast chasm of white,
There was a Chaos which gave birth
To more than it destroyed.

It destroyed me;
It destroyed him.
Yet he revived me.

He wheeled me from the dusty corner
And plugged me in,
Wielding his fingers and words as tools
And he soothed me, healed me,
As I would one day heal him.

His face became a forlorn dirt road,
Less-traveled;
My face became a forlorn traveller,
And we met.
The un-even surface and sharp rocks
Did not deter me,
And I never deviated from the path
Which I walked continuously.
Because although my feet bled,
The blood found its way into the cracks
And the dirt, which found its way into the cracks
In my feet and we became bound together
By a dusty darkness.
And we would watch the rusty sunset
And pick at the corroding metal of the sky,
Laughing when stars would fall at our feet,
And we would gather them and pick them apart,
Holding the fading silver in our palms.
It would blend with my scars until the pain and bliss
Became un-distinguishable.
And my beautiful paradox melted.

Some nights we would stand underneath the sky
And watch each other in the moonlight, silently.
He called me an iridescent angel,
But I couldn’t speak.
My tongue was wrapped in a beam of light
Which fluctuated around my body and through the grass
Into the reeds which swayed into the wind into his eyes
And at that moment I knew I held the answer.
Lucifer’s angel,
I wanted to capture him forever and live
Alone with him in the moonlight as my Adam.
We would bask in the lights of Eden
And wade in the depths of hell
And still watch each other, silently,
As he laughed and captured fireflies in his hands.
He would release them innocently,
Letting their naivety shower on him like our broken stars,
And I would kiss him in the white light,
My mouth full of wonder.
My life full of wonder,
I lost myself in him,
And never emerged for air;
Semi-aquatic, we would swim together,
And lay intertwined in a bed of coral,
In a bed of seaweed;
Ecstatic, we swam endlessly,
Our bodies tireless, and we melded
In and out of a shared existence where our
Realities were delusions.
And I loved him.
Torn apart by time, or kin,
I was a lonely candle and my wax hardened,
Until my wick suffocated,
And grew stiff.
My figure took on an anguished state,
And my bones filled with cement,


Until he returned,
and until his fingernails chipped away the solid liquid,
and his smile warmed me,
and my muscles filled with liquid euphoria,
and I moved again.
And he loved me.

His lips were fluid, and like a wind
He flew through me,
Catching on an occasional branch,
Until I released him and watched him soar away.
But every night he would come back to me,
And I would lie,
Waiting,
And knowing,
And praying.
Agnostic, I asked for nothing but him,
but I would weep into my rosary beads asking for more.
As I loved away his sadness,
And stroked away his weakness,
And hoped away his illness;
But hope was no medicine,
And the darkness tore through his body,
Ebbing our unity.
I would kiss him in the white light,
And I would pour it into him from my aching lips.
But my light was never enough,
And soon we ebbed together.
My light never faded, and I watched him ascend through life,
Flickering, the electricity with which he used to shock me
Now weak.
Particles of dust would settle on him


And he would stay still one second too long.
One second was too much.
One second was everything.

His force significantly lessened,
He plugged himself into me and I barely lit,
My bulb near-empty.
But he would still stand in the moonlight.
I washed his bodies with my tears,
And he became re-born,
His weary, hairless, body,
Writhing under my steady hand-
My steady stream.
I still found him beautiful,
But he broke anything reflective,
And would sit, naked,
Drowning in images of a strength
He no longer possessed.
Sometimes he would still stand in the moonlight,
And call me his evangelical saviour,
And I wouldn’t speak.
Because my light didn’t extend to him
And I saw the darkness waiting patiently,


Fingers twitching, hungering for the one I loved,
As I once hungered for him.
Still hungered for him.
Always hunger for him.

But like our broken stars,
He was picked apart,
And I held him in my palm,
Star-dust,
Spreading him in the wind which he once flew through;
Pressing him to my lips which he once moved through;
Easing them through the life which he once ascended through.
And now I stand naked in the moonlight,
Letting the moon and the reeds and the wind rush through me
Like he once did.
I stand on our dirt road and I cut my body on the un-even surface,
I roll in the pain,
And I bleed to bring us together again.
I tear at my skin,
Dig craters into my aching vessel.
And when my blood is released I feel released and he is released.
And when we are together we stand in silence in the moonlight.
And I spread the dust into the cracks of my skin.
We become whole again.
He calls me salvation,
And I never respond.
But I wear him on my skin:
Discarded sparks, broken stars; bloody scars.
And I wear him in my veins,
The broken telephone wires.
And I taste him in my mouth,
A rich gold.
And I know him in my mind,
A transcendent being.


And one day we will stand at the bank of the river
And let the grass tickle our bare ankles as we
Walk together under the moonlight;
We will walk into the
Transparency until we are submerged.
And then we will be one.
