Champagne and Errections

Give me one perfect shot of flame

and I can ignore all the other
pillars of insecurity that
surround us.
force glass upon glass
of champagne on me
with viscious metalic bubbles
that blister like moments of insanity
and provide the second excitement of the morning.
Feel perfect cold against our curves
which may have felt clammy
or uncomfortable
if it weren't for an emotion
discovered earlier this year.
Speak in sweet intakes
of dreamed breath
and a hand which may be moving
only in sleep.
Your fragile breasts
hair in mine
light of morning
summer sent
perfect scented.
Love coughed, and then very
still
with bird song everything.
And my only fear is that
no one could be as
content as I am
this morning.

In as much sense as ever
is forever

falling for
her words seemed brilliantly dizzying
and you'd leave them all unquestioned

-do you know that greyhounds
 are better than stale biscuits
 (chocolate biscuits)
 but lightbulbs are happier
 than turtles
-of course,
 all of these are inferior
 to candle wax
 and lack the politeness of windscreens

love, like perfect grammar
ain't always about making sense.
