IT WAS ALL A DREAM

"I want to make love to you while you’re wearing figure skates
until the hardwood floors are toothpicks
I want to kiss your throat in a dressing room with my hands
bound around the slow song in your voice"

- “Cotton in the Air” Derrick C. Brown

Armstrong

The night the moon cracked open
A voice came from within.

The moon turned to the astronaut
and said to him
‘Please stay. Please stay.’

The astronaut looked
back at the moon

said “I’d love to stay
but I can’t stay with you

I am sorry to report

that I must leave.

For when I’m here

with you

I cannot breathe.”  - Derrick Brown

I thought about my true love, the one I really need

With eyes that burn so bright, they make me pure
They make me pure
They make me pure
I long to be with you

I say tap in. Tap the shoulder. Love is yours, make the first move.

Lose the ones that stepped on your shoes. The night is yours.
The floors are breaking. do not fall where I’ve fallen. We welcome you.

Those who love the cities that hated them. Those who couldn’t stand anymore so they built splints out of words.

All you have been seared by, that is not church. You are the closest thing to the image of salvation

Something you’ve been waiting for is coming. Guard your heart minimally. You can carry a knife and still trust everyone.

Ughhh it’s just so beautiful. Please listen.
I’m going to attempt to sleep now.
