Your face is a silhouette I captured in the dark. In the haste, in the glow, in the power of the art that we threw away in messes of wonder, our thoughts were asunder, hearts beat like thunder.
Booming with storms spilling the rain that won’t stay, it just drips away, it’ll dry by next day. I couldn’t open my eyes past the squint they were in, clenched fists, move hips, vulnerability stretched thin.
And there comes a time when words are more than vowels, phonological sounds, linguistic backgrounds. And there comes a time when your mind is released, I took the back streets, avoided main streets.
That’s where you met me.
That’s where you met me.
That’s when you told me.
And your words were a silhouette I captured in the dark. Sweet Waste, let go of that power of my art that I threw away in my messes of wonder, my thoughts were asunder, but your truth was like thunder.
