For you
In my dream last night
I went to see it for myself
You were cooking with her in your boxers
I thought she was ugly
I grabbed your ass and you told me to leave
I did.
I went to the tallest building I could find
A skyscraper with black metal bars ascending toward a peak
Like a great crystal pointed at the North Star
It was raining. It was dark. I had no shoes,
Only some ill-fitted flip flops
My chest burned with pain of lost love
And being alone, homeless, unemployed
Craving booze and affection
I began to climb
In the dark. In the rain.
One slippery rung at a time
Slowly I made it to the top
And could see the whole world
Dark, but beautiful, wet but clean
Then I made my way back down, alive
I was offered a job, and rehomed by friends
And my body could suddenly do
Everything.
