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.
