The Way Your Eyes Would Bite My Neckduring The Cigarette Breakwhen There Was Nothing Between Us And The

The way your eyes would bite my neck during the cigarette break when there was nothing between us and the moon except for the smell of stale tobacco.

light-headed

I know a place

where the nights are hidden under a veil of tobacco

I know a place

where lovers wait for the rain to cease, sheltered by a stranger’s open garage

holding stolen beers and each other’s hands

I know a place

where boys with messy hair sit on the windowsill reading Cocteau

I know a place

where people fall in love over a cigarette and a line of Tennyson

It’s a place

where life isn’t so bad

note to self

a glimpse of melancholia

in the lukewarm saké

of a child’s laughter

haiku

eyes of dented ink;

summer liquor store color

crawl into this bed

2003

Postcards from Saigon

yellowed pictures

pants rolled up to his knees

dark ray bans

thick rims

raindrops on lips

or raindrop lips

his eyes,

a different shade of brown

those that say

“buy me a beer

before I change my mind”,

dusty eyelids

a scar

lingering

under his eye

a dog-eared book

in his hand

where he wrote in the margins

These

are

the

lines

that

prove

that

existence

mistake

but you only read

the pencil prophecy

after

you had kissed him

after

he had taken

all of those

painkillers

after

he had written that letter

saying

“I too

was once loved,

but not by you”.
