Tonight

longing is a cliff
solitude is a tree on a cliff
love is lightning that splits it in two

Tonight

visit your own future grave.

Tonight

Sway

swing

sing

like a whore.

Tonight

Outshine the moon.

Tonight

Cigarettes kiss like Romeo's and Juliet's ignorant of love,

names are prayers like unsent love letters in flames,

and hearts linger like dying embers in the air.

Tonight

Be loved by your pillow.
Love it back. Exchange vows with it.

Tonight

Be the little drummer boy

Parapapampam your way to sleep.

Tonight

Wear sunglasses. Sunbathe.

Tonight

Get drunk with sobriety.
