Stoney Brown
**
because I am nothing I will take the time to understand
when emptiness and everything collide with me and my tongue
can no longer hold the splendor, I will stand and laugh cry drunk
through my eyes, speak the words you taught me with your tongue
touching my tongue, till every syllable wraps itself around me
and my eyes are down the barrel of your gun
**
you: A maze and though I am lost
I will find my way. A board
This 2x4, translucent my love, we
Are floating here this very instant
And in your eyes this, a blanket
I use when I sleep there.
It’s usually down some dead end
That I find a cozy spot, alone
In you, and the deeper I go the more
it feels I’m running away, from the cheese
that is your heart
that is a thousand things
one twinkling moment eternity
so sad and deliberate, I’m snowed in
stuck between your green leaves
