finally, right? the guy finally sent me a new po–i mean i finally wrote a new one!
INTERLUDE
When i close my eyes I see a big room,
gilded and glowing yellow-gold from
the sun outside, fighting through ornate curtains
to illuminate the space inside.
She’s there, and so am I; we look radiant.
Reverb-laced music fills the room all the way
to the ceiling, where our hearts and aspirations
mingle and contort themselves together.
It’s muskier than you would think. the air is heavy
with the whispers of foreign tongues telling
stories about revolutions and dead authors
exploring that part of the world where jungles
become deserts filled with eroded monoliths.
