...staten island...

Mar 28, 2008 - 19:55 PM PST

pinned to a dirty hood

the stars in my eyes

fill the night sky

i can taste the salted air

to my left, the reflectors line up perfectly

on the right, the trail to an abandoned shore

dead center, a face

the face of the one i allow to fill me

with those same stars

my body tenses and...

R E L E A S E S

i say good night to the moon

and leave the island intact
