Freeze

My hallucination, every drug that I need.

I love you for your beauty. I love you

For the books you read.

I watch you laze in the sun,

I watch your head come undone, you smile ;

The man and child with bee-stung lips

Where my tongue trips and curls and you kiss like a girl.

It frees me, frees me from the freeze.

And with the liberation everything's

Taken higher ; and every complication,

Another spark for the fire. you're nothing

More than eighteen but you are more than

You seem to be.

You'll win me with pale

White hands and soft demands and ways

To set the days ablaze.

It frees me from the freeze

You're like a favorite saint kept

Alive in prayer and paint.

One looked a lot like you, saucer-eyed and stoned

And out of the blue.
