monsters

we are not monsters,
to sink so slow...
we are not monsters,
to quiet go
into that night that day
and take what's given
as our lot.
inside you reach and
fail to find
the tail of the serpent
hissing still.
mea culpa, mea culpa,
for we have failed
in this as in the rest
there is no rest
we wicked ones
we draw the curtains,
shut the blinds.
we pretend we see nothing.
in your light we
find false courage and
think we see the
tunnel's end
but come tomorrow
all is weed and warp and
once again the water
beckons deep and dark.
we are not monsters,
to sink so low,
we are not monsters,
and yet we go.

believe

believe,
if you believe in nothing else,
in this.
the touch of the wind
on your skin,
the heat of the sun
on red earth.
the flight of doves
a thunderclap in shining air.
nothing moves you now,
i know,
not moonlight, not starlight,
not eye-ache of neon glow.
you don't remember.
once there was something,
an intangible promise
of better to come,
and you smiled at the
touch of my fingers.
nothing moves you now,
i know.
but if you believe no longer
in anything else,
believe in this :
the sound of my heart
singing,
the sight of my smile
when i see you,
the way our bodies
fit together
when we kiss.
