Whatever walks there?

Almost last

Your fear today can't distract my fear
This one hell I shall despise with pleasure
With the whole world perplexed, wondering
With a whole night of illuminating bliss
Stalled for my review.
With a woman looking out past the window
Crying.
For the memory of ever coming
And
Leaving here untouched.
This is the only realm of perfection
That I get to explain myself with
Aesthetic love, endless heaven
and a hell
U are personally courting.
Why should anyone care,
When I don’t?

The last pixel and the after things

How can I love to be interested in your reality?
When all I see is the aura of sorrowful people
Walking there laden with strange wiry baggage
The devil comes today to sign a pact with this cynic
Whose new vision he got
From the illusion the dog had
Hanging in the wrong space
This lithe feeling is discomforting
When you walk on your toe tips.

The woman

I saw my wife today
Leaning against her hoe
Looking earnestly at me
Passing by in the bus,
My face distorted against
The sun’s glare on the bus window.
Examining her countenance with new dedication
Feeling all her thoughts pinging mine.
We looked at each other for as long as it mattered
Long after the bus turned into the next bend
And we slept holding each other
Long into a night that ended so fast
When I was thrown out of the bus
For unnecessarily sleeping too much
Long after the bus had reached its destination
