"Caracas"
Jeffrey McDaniel
I wish slitting the wrist of the clock
would let this moment last forever–-
your tongue is so deep in my ear
it feels like a paintbrush, coating
the dark, peeling walls inside my head
with a carmine veneer. I was expecting
you to run, when you saw the cartilage
in the closet. I was prepared to chase
after and whisper you have beautiful
footsteps, when the truth is you make
my toes tingle like the capital of Venezuela.
I know loving me isn’t easy–- the all-night
helicopter parties, the glow-in-the-dark
haircuts, but when I look at you
it’s like praying with my eyes. I know
it’s stupid to not own a gun yet have
so many triggers, but in some other world
gigantic seashells hold humans
to their ears and listen to the echo
of machines. I apologize for the fossils
growing on the dishes, how the rug is covered
with cocktail umbrellas when you wake up,
but it was raining margaritas, and the stars
came on backwards last night.
i'm shannon. i love art, dancing in my underwear, and cuddling all day. i laugh all of the time. i'm a music education major and have moved to albuquerque to student teach in inner-city schools. i believe in going big or going home. i cut my hair obsessively, talk with my hands constantly, and take more pictures than i can ever edit. i love mountains and warm weather and tequila. i value respect. i am in love with richard siken and new mexico. oh, and my wonderful and beautiful girlfriend. . . she makes every day something to look forward to.
my journal is friends only. if you add me, tell me who you are! :)
