Bucket Of Tar
Here is a bucket of tar and a photograph of us dancing on the head of a pin shaped from a cloud already burning away.
I know how angry you are, that you'd love to pour across my border and make me care, but my bridges are mirrors where magpies scry.
I know I said things, we both did, with knives and roses in our teeth. I am Eve with an apple in my jaw, for whom God made highways and the will to survive.
Take the tar and make your skin warm again. Travel over yourself to the next natural barrier, listen to the river and toss the photograph in. ______
