TRIANGULAR JUGULAR



(2) The jugular falls in a triangular way,

on that window sill

where my elbows sit

and they make 

a triangle

hands on my chin.

An A flipped upsidedown.

A V waiting to be redrawn. 

Lines are boundaries, lullabies

Lure me to my dreamstate

sleepwalking foggy down the hallway.

Perspective merges then radiates

the doorways and the staircase

windows are now stained with color

they used to be clear

we could see each other.


(1)

The jugular falls in a triangular way

the plans we made when the stars were bright

flipped upsidedown 

Lines were drawn boundaries

Crossed eyes and lullabies

lured me to my dreamstate

sleepwalking foggy down the hallway

messed up with guns and the occult

felt squares and grandma's quilts

lit cigarettes on the edges of the ledge

that window sill

it's such a small thing

it's no big deal

it's just chipped paint

that window sill

where my elbows sit

and they make 

a triangle

hands on my chin.
