Will you go?


Will you go?

in the violet wickedness the museum, 
dolled up like a cake he 
steals past the Mirror
arms full of brambles and 
her cherry-lipped high heels glint like
thoroughly martyred, climbs the 
Fire Escape to the pavement
narrowly avoiding early decay in

you, from across the way
water pooling under the Moon
immaculate, like everything else
sinking slowly in lavender
wearing only her slip, she slipped
beige and grey framing the view
Hey, you! 

when will the clock stop ticking
bathing now our home in starlight
why are blueberries called blue berries when they’re really purple?
she drives you home slowly
time is money, grandpa said
eating peas with a knife, 
Remember how we fell silent when
