Cast your eyes
into
tomorrow’s sky

Steal perfection
from
the light

Make the room dark
for
the night

Squeeze the jasmine
around
the twisted air

Tear the feathers
out
the angel’s wings

Stuff a pillow
with
heaven there

Fire the wick
upon
reflecting eyes

Project our figures
onto
an unwritten wall

Melt my hardness
until
drops of sweat

Wrinkle a thousand threads
into
a single tangled knot

Toss security blankets
away from
my unmade heart.
