waterloo sunset playing into my inner ear
skull bone coming away with vibrations
flashing lights in the living room
the scent of summer blowing through my clothes
scraping along the floor a tongue on my neck
lips on my shoulder blades
teeth gritted I let out a manic little laugh
bass notes threading through my bones
a naked throng in ecstasy over an old song
i pushed to the window face to face with the soil of
a window box
i cry one tear
look my first tear
and try to get my whole body out the window
"i want it down there" i explain
"i want my body smashed down there"
but hands pulling me back
the music stops
and then the couch

and then quiet
dark
a whistling in my ears
