I don't know if I ever liked
brunch
never liked it until that day
you took me to the cafe
on the corner
cliches and
we drank chocolate shakes
for hours and hours
belgian waffle eyes
sunken in and the syrup
leaked from them into
my heart
and brunch
was never the same
since then.

he grabbed her hand
held it against the pane of window where the sun shown through
just right
and said
hey
this is what everybody ought to be
and even if they are not
this is shit sure what we are
and he tugged on the strand that always fell
down against her left ear
and said
shit sure this is what we are
baby
we don't have to even see anybody else
lanterns
shining light upon
empty roads
lanterns in the hearts of lovers
who kiss on top of
rooftops
mudbogs
pavement
couch cushions
their hearts are now full
but will someday be broken and shatter
into the sky
and absorb in the light that filters
clouds that rain down
on top of their heads
hair soaking through
transparent skin
closed hands clutching
at each others cheeks
the lantern the only light on
this otherwise pale street
screams to see
more
to see more in our
dark
atmosphere
