date from paradise

animated corpses searching for their out-
line, we make love and tie it to a balloon

let the ribbon slip away
our handfuls, nothing

short of grasping, fish-
mouths puckered

arms outstretched
bodies wooden and spongy

hollowed out
getting stuffed

we merely seek a new sun
during the break of day

before internal pressure
pops the egg, and flames

dance upon the grave
turning in its grave
