for george
dark dark and
sometimes when our fingers tangled up
it was heavy and
the air moved quick around my head.
sorry that
sometimes i just don’t know too much
and hard paved roads make me nervous.
i used to lay in bed and close my eyes real tight
and a snap and hermetic flush of blue green gloam
would float through
and touch my eyes real soft and then
i’d call your phone as quick as i could.
