7 août

I write my aubade. To the moon
on your back. Thus

I probably
come from somewhere. Assuming
pronouns. Are places in space.

The dilated kitchen. As everyone
takes turns. Holding
the joint to my mouth.

I leave little Latif kisses
on their fingers. And go on

into the street. Like a tribe.
The stone cathedral
necromances the sky.

He had explained it
beautifully. He likes

the subject. In the middle
of an action.
