Barnes & Noble at 10 PM.

.

my steps - rock n' roll
my lips - dark ruby
setting fire
to your
blindness.

i scrolled perfect
lives
until poetry kidnapped
me
and i was your
ink.

may i be
childish enough
to say your
eyes were
phoenixes?
and i smiled back
wondering if i
could be reborn
in you
(a fantasy).

i wouldn't have let you
in
even if i could
have.
