over my head
flies
airplanes and clouds
letting down the rope
i'll climb onto
where ever you are
just steady
reconsider
thrown over
and over
i'm the object of your affection
and
you'll always be my prospect
for neglection
no one holds onto holding
until they are held up by regret
wide view
look past to the left
over to the right
scope is redefined
i'm making promises
with fingers crossed
with my tongue tied
you can have a ring
to celebrate a day
i'll take the guest list
to tally the victims
of formulaic societal norms
but god wasn't listening
when you swore oaths
when i said i don't
i'm reaching back down into me
and you're flying overhead back to jacksonville
i look down at my clothes
you spilled wine on my jacket
i fall face down
and cover myself in dirt
this stain will cover the other stain.
