with a million jailbreaks,

with a million revolutions.

Even so, it is easier to imagine catastrophe.

A bleeding moon, fixed in jaws.

 

I’m on a flight next to black curly hair.

And they’re wearing your perfume.

And the flight attendant has your name.

And I’m wondering if this is a devotion hangover or conviction?

My smokes are running out.
