hausfire draem
summer crosses bare
slice of heart / beach of skin;
love down th dark
those october stairs
and into a tavern of lonely telephones
that watch their hands,
waiting for a rinse.
end every summer w/ a bowl of strawberries
those cannot be touched but to be spilled
and
my heart
is as
hot as a doorknob [ hausfire
intruder gave
and stayed long
as my body was alive
