SPIRAL BOUND SUNSET


Your shadow burst through the tree limbs
Cloud halos dripping from your chin
A constellation of cassettes
Glow in the spiral bound sunset
Melting in the heat of church pews
Ghosts of teenagers miss curfew
“We swim like dinosaurs,” she said
Bathed in the spiral bound sunset
Your parenthetical heartbreak
From bunny ears to mouth of snake
While others tell of loves long dead
We toast the spiral bound sunset
Darkening shine, between the lines
Your kitchen pale face on the floor
The ocean cannot find the shore
Empty chest when you realize
There is no spiral bound sunrise
