“This is Our Moment”
And counting the flashbulbs
we fell in love twice
to the hum of stars and rainbows
this mirror’s lie of a reflection
and reflections turn away
burnt tulips anyway
our dreams are fountains
to flash away this instant
when instincts turn to thoughts
lost cheetahs in the blood
gold-flecked tongue click
alone in an instant on
one desperate bullet
crying away the wind through wilderness
and all your dresses studded with bows
a fountain to found you
and four feet, the darkest shadow cast
I’ll be with you in springtime wine
both beautiful tulip everlasting
echoing down drain after drain
we’re crocodiles in love
veins fit for bursting
this beautiful smile
creamy as cake after cake
and deserted to no one
on a desert of vast winds.
