herself? her eyes go soft when lit on serpents
she cries when her skin turns color in different rooms
each tear like a thousand drunks
(sunflowers not wine changed their head)
but her nails fresh from blood-laden fingerbowls
never peeled an orange for me
myself? bones, open to the sky like a long battle
yet, good news:
I rule between these lightning-strikes still
rolling hands broke the earth from beneath me
and here I am, piggy-backing the fireworks,
a tangy flight flavored with remote gold
