Static Soft


I would
wade through 
every postmodern
sunset 
to find you
on the overpass.

The quick silence
of chemical wind 
on your lips,
wisps of atmosphere
snaking through your hair,
facing a blaze
unrivaled,

even in your gawky
bones, 
they rattle as we run
through the falling sky.
A somber
reflection cast in 
metallic puddles

splishing 
through them in rubber galoshes
which echo radio waves
to our feet.
Absorbed
in static sunrise
the grey dawns
on misted lawns

we are forever jumping fences
running the elliptical patterns
of logic as
it seems,
our broken hearts
pumping broken blood.

Our lungs cloaked 
in television waves,
rippling off the 
shiny cars
glinting in some realist's dreams.

I breathe static into
you, a life aura
of soft sounds 
as your limping body
stands smug
against a biohazard blur
dying out in the western sky.
