Molly

                                           to the rooftop edge-
see how the trees stretch up                                                

down below the train clip clops     hollow notes      

sleepwalk     far    wherever the wind     

homes sweep backwards:

teen on a toilet seat and a porn screen

sewn up patches of station platforms

girls asleep in polka dot knickers     

 shadow-gust        a mouthful of moan     

or a gobbet of meat passed from knife to knife.

you press the molly on my tongue    

still as a riverbed    it shrinks to the size of a pinhead      

 then bam    a bow in the rain

and i promise to run away with you some day      where whims go 

but for now   uncuff your caution       withhold the particulars  

 catch light on a desert tongue      oxblood wine from cup to cup

    pass me a dirty note under your breath 

unskirt this night     disregard this railing      

until all is all and nothing but a dare under a star      

now lean     so the universe swallows us whole

 like edible flowers
