Come back yesterday (w/ Ian Herman)

Come back yesterday

and dance upon my rage

here, tomorrow.

having seen yours as mine

as wine

bloodied by sun

squeezed by heel and dirt

and finely made drunk on dissolution.

Come back yesterday, 

My Clearest Poison, and 

may I drink you again. 

and again 

in blue-throated ecstasy

as you were ever

there, making the nectar so sweet

for tomorrow. 

My Dearest Elixir, tomorrow

               is mad.

And if I swallow you then, 

I surely will drown-in.

In the inward emptiness of I 

      full in We

filling as tides pale

the fringes

fill, polarize

silt from froth, 

from fiction and I, 

I cannot

        breathe. 

   Embraced by Life's wane --

rising, eternal -- awaiting crashed wave

               crested. 

I have been arrested 

in your toss-back

this gasp, drenches, 

My Sieving Drink, 

held by heaving heart's cup,

Drunk in rhythm

to rebirth's song

My wretched chalice

trembling

for your ambrosium.
