TUNNELS
Dead batteries tested, windshield washed clean,
ready to shelter no rain, even the 17th fly
coming to feel your spine,
your shoulder blades
the twin tunnels
the rising Phteah Keung
I’m a mess I need to go somewhere else.
The roads, oh they’re paved for your courage,
road signs newly painted though they’re sick
to death of neon. Spine, I wake up early
to catch not the sun but the careful subtext
of your hips telling me that there’s not a day
brighter than your special scrambled eggs.
We seek explanations, we carry flags.
Please remember to feed the cat as ordinary
conversations may sink if your head’s going
from point to point, tropical to jazz.
