You are smiling and it’s earthquake season.
You are smiling and I am straddling faultlines, scrambling to stay upright.

Family portraits crash to the floor and all I can think of is the soft of your mouth.

My natural disaster of a heart, my aftershocked pulse.

You are smiling and tsunamis are inevitable.
You are smiling and- drowning.

My dreams are all car alarms and chasms, falling in nine times and begging for another.

My dreams are all empty rooms with cracks in the foundations.
I want to fall in love with you in every one.

I want to know how the whole world tastes after you have broken it into pieces and kissed it between my teeth.

You are smiling and everything falls to ruin.
You are smiling and I don’t want to put it back together again.
