the ocean the mother and her belly the dock the chase the capture mother winking mother knowing an island so small cosy for lovers so perfect they grew into one but then the one was lonely and we fade like a tv screen and once more mother winks airplanes not on one the park bench under where they take off and we are waiting me and dad (maybe he likes the rush of wind because it feels like hes being born) so much compassion for a man who I have to squeeze it out of he buys me a sandwhich and airplanes keep taking off there wind makes my pony tails fly red fabric over my eyes unraveling me to center stage I stand alone most my dear animals in the behind stage eyes on me a skill unlearned perfect for a audience of two thinking of escape and how much I love them
