four eyes
by sarah jean alexander
You say you want to sleep outside We’ve connected five different ways and I’m already picturing a foggy mixture of smoke and sweat. * * * Sarah Jean Alexander self-publishes on her twitter (@sarahjeanmd) everyday. She is the author of “I imagine you in your house, cleaning your chest,” a free ebook that can be found at her blog, and she is delightful.
after you get off work,
and all I can think about is
you, naked on your roof,
skin turning bright pink
as sweat drips into your eyes.
over three days,
via gchat
via facebook
via skype,
via two other forms
of non-committal communication,
- my head in your lap
- your cat on my head
- a joint being rolled above my face, and
- ash in my eyes,
