We All Feel Lonely Like Night

Countertops like held hands support slowly separated spaces pulling away from unkept passion your lips speak loves last grace Has desire ever been so elusive? she dances in my fireplace she drips from my shower-head only to fall into ashes and retreat from my lonesome bed her touch like moments past is color fading from my face what once was there is gone moving farther from the home i must dwell Decorations cover the hole in my wall filled with hollow expectations the furniture like pressed bodies warms icy abandonment my floor is our humanity and my countertops our innocent attempt at nirvana
