less blinking

i met a man from

texas

in california

i met a man from

texas with blue bonnet

eyes

a man from texas

who smiled at me

and i smiled back

a man from texas

who opened his face

enough to show me

all the storms

he fought

all the hottest

summers he

worshiped

all the lakeside

fires

this man who told me

all about this

girl named phyllis

his jewel that he stole

from

texas

and when he did

i saw phyllis

dancing there in his

beautiful

heart

enough reason

i woke up

grateful for having

sharp teeth

when the night

presses down

pushes me under

rain clouds

leaves me for

dead

there

sharp enough

teeth to

free myself from

the endless weeping of the

moon’s wraiths

fall as hard as i

dare back to

brightest dream

called

love
