ah darling
wish you a beautiful year
pardon me as i roll the second bottle
on the floor after the last swig
pop a couple of blue ones
dangle my feet down
smile my priceless
smile
 
fair enough  
you tell me i have been mean to you
hurt you
 
you point your finger in the direction of  
the decadent heaps of mistakes in my wake that wipe  
my footsteps from the frozen sands of  
liminal time
 
you are right
of course
 

when my silver cord  
gets severed and i drift away  
plummeting in spacetime watching you glow  
in your wormhole
 
i call out your name  
wave  
thrash
before being ejected out of  
the event horizon
 
then crash headlong  
burning a zillion degrees at my core  
my diamond bones searing
my heart a newborn star
 
i hit the centre of chaos
skyhigh duststorms
arise  
obliterate
 
inertia creeps in
until primordial raindrops
cleanse falling  
in tangents
 
words words words
saline scorching
deaf silence
 
gravity pulls us back to our orbits
we move at the speed of god
grab grapple  
gnaw the  
residue off  
each other
 
unite  
 
dance as the sharp flames
lick the synapses  
in our spines
conjoined
 
get purified

sobs snot sniffle
smiles sweet nothings
fall like toy soldiers
with parachutes
from a sky unknown
 
again
 
one, love
.
