when she looked at her iPhone
found out she was too late
by her sister’s fucking status update:

In the words of the best mother & person I ever knew "Live love laugh!" RIP Mommy. Heaven got another angel...hope they r ready 4 her!! XoXoXo

The sky grows heavy

bloated with bile and blood.

Criers brandishing their bells and Macguffins.

Our fates pronounced in the day's butchered swine.

Effervescence expelled into skeletal frames.

Niche messiahs.

The complexities of our realm

bastardized into tropes

Her Gatsby

Rainbows at her fingertips

pulsing with music magic believable myths.

Seduction of one-eyed dreams

a galaxy speaking through a leaf

left hanging in the dilapidated rake

where I found her legal pad letter--

riffs of smoke and jazz still floating

over the bed of glass roses.

Time destiny lingers like fireflies

in a field

lose out on king kong

lose out on talons testicles and colons

lose out on the throngs

lose out on whores and chores and doors and floors

lose out on chords for songs

left out of love left out of flying

left out of laughing crying singing and

I just ran into Joey.

You know he’s not the same.

His face is filled with loneliness

And cracked by bitter pain.

 

He tells me ‘bout his broken heart.

He tells me how it aches.

He’s just another drowning man left

stranded in your wake.

 

I had a drink with Billy

"Tourists from all over the world go there..."

Bass reverberates from his chest.

"Cameras everywhere..."

But I'm not interested in birds or eagles.

Only the way he tells me of their beauty.

"It's outside of Seattle..."

His voice takes me everywhere

With slow deliberate direction

But he's always home to me.

"One of
