Communion
now i'm imagining you
that right after that street
save your feet in the tiny apartment.
you water plants bought on sale
while gulping down vitamins and granola bars
just because they are skinny on television.
when I appear hallucinating
and the happy dog almost has a heart attack
you smile with the planets I bring
hidden in the portable universe of my words.
last time we traveled to that faraway place
that only exists within us
it was only much later that we woke up scared
listening to the uncomfortable silence of our voice.
