daymonth

i remember
how we danced that night,
your hair a waterfall of light
spilling out your
precious skull,

the days and months and years
melting into one moment
when we stood side by side
and forgot our names and fears

after the music stopped
it all came back to me,
how beautiful your name is
when whispered softly,
how the wall you painted
your portrait upon
is strong but crumbling,
how i tremble when you're near.

before and after doesn't matter,
in a house full of abstract ideas
we made perfect sense,
and that's more than enough
to build a dream together.
