barcelona

all the passion in the world hung like
diamonds on my skin
the sky black and low tonight;
underneath the fragrance trees
above the concrete
i wander.

sidewalks full as midnight pulls its
weight
the heavy pounds of dusk

santa monica is strewn with ballerina lights;
hour blossoms dancing fiercly through and among.

upon my brow your absence remains, as
if the stars had dropped down -
across the streets our cats are fighting, making
up and making out

more than i can say.

far from me
the sea bellows out in strength. it sings
long and thick, in forever strains
the notes tearing out my
teeth,
as if i were discussing barcelona, and

all its redness
the unfamiliarity of its city lights
wide and deep.

i am also very far in flights, so i will
  
   wait or wait again to live
   cling to your shade across from the chapel

in sweet aching of my heart -
