AWAKE AT
3 AM

Pickering (USA)
no, I implore you:
let the sky follow you downward,
open the shadows
and burn the blasting shroud,
her eyes a victimless crime,
ecstasy shrills from the sex
of her hours,
time is unknown to her,
the boat is torn in the waters—
I am neither vindictive
nor ecstatic
to kiss her storm of words.
