Remember How We Used to Play

 

in the upper atmosphere

 

in the vertical climb

 

in the sky above the clouds

 

remember how we used to play

 

in the nautical dusk 

 

along the radians of midheaven…

 

 

out there

 

amid the scattered wavelengths

 

within the aerosols of a meteorological meadow

 

 

we tread upon the aether 

 

side by side

 

the ampere and the joule

 

the whisper and the gleam

 

borne along effervescent freeways

 

remember how we came to rest 

 

inside the amethyst auditorium

 

of a storm

 

there -

 

suspended in an echo-plex of thunder

 

you drew me close

 

and I tasted 

 

the voltage of your skin

 

the radiometry of your eyes

 

the amphetamine of your lips

 

the flushed cushion of your tongue
