The Quality of our Solitude

The quality of our solitude

after you scrape the ads
swipe off the phone
dial down the sugar,
fat, and tobacco 

stop worrying about bills
department manager
to-do list and
tiny revenge scenarios

how's it going in there
how's the quality of your solitude

forgetting the music
voice to exercise
pornographic Gifs
translations unrealized

what frequencies do you hear
What does your void look like 
does God have a beard
is anything purple and beach-like

there's nothing that compares 
with that roaring silence

naked on a log
the cold has returned 
I grab your fingers
gently pulling you 

we're eye to eye
the moment dissolves
your roar swallows mine

I forget what we are

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months
