Natural Disasters


Franklin Avenue in 2008

playing Twister in the back of taxicabs

every night was a natural disaster 

songs like volcanic eruptions 

sex like plate tectonics

tears like hurricanes 

and the sun rose

on the most exquisite hangovers

humanitarian disasters

eyes destroyed by window light 

heads like furnaces 

voices like rock tumblers 


but one more hour

with my eye socket resting

on your lips, and everything 

would be OK again
