Love & Vampires

miracles
are the same color
as candy
as honey
as the color
of his hair
riding on handlebars
chewing bubblegum
your brother
never took
you here
over the hedge
beside the lake
two boys learned
to love mistakes
to know the
unknown sew
the undone
find a pathway
through the
darkness
of the maze
at long last
let the sadness
rest aloft
on the wingless
nameless fathomless
impossible breaths

he looks like a god just holding some flowers
the window is down
seasalted air and the
feeling of love overpowers
ancient Rome,
the armies of death
lingering from
the past
all die and vanish
like smoke
the yoke is lifted
drifting off
unhinged, emitting
two boys wonder
at a great distance
clocks and calendars
disappear and earth
lets loose its Van Ellen belt
like dry curls of wallpaper
falling to the floor
in an old rotting
carnal house
full of vampires
fed by your desire.
