The Honey Taste of Chaos
“What does it mean?” you asked me, as a voice like the sun at midnight rode circles around us in the dark.
It was a different bed. It was a different you. But my stomach felt the same. Raw with leaving, raw with staying.
I always tried to explain the best I could. But whenever time is cruel, I go looking for the face of a past us.
Why return to what we left behind to walk the streets alone and unsafe? What we miss, what we long for, is it
the one we once had, or is it a revenant? Speaking like a promise, tapping at the window aching for breath?
This warmth. Blood flowing where it yearns to go, rivers flowing under bridges burned years past. Last night
it was three a.m. when you told me you were happy not to know what it means; contented to keep going
as the roof blew off our world again, in a whirl of music, with the midnight sun illuminating our faces.
“Two eyes the colour of anger, a ring of cold, a belt of blood–”
— Octavio Paz, from ‘Central Park’, A Tree Within (trans. Eliot Weinberger)
I love you
I’m sorry the words don’t roll smoothly off my tongue
In a poetic renaissance
But you make me feel infinite
And new
Like I can accomplish anything
And everything
Like a person
Childlike
And mature
In the same breath
“Sometimes, home has a heartbeat.”
— Beau Taplin; home.
“Lips of honey, eyes of fire.”
