So the boy went to texas.
Shuffling new drunk against a hatchback. nowhere. cigarette dangling. trying to hold it all in. suck it back. make it seem like this trip was all the fuck worth winning but really...as disasters go, well...
Still, he's humming. two years later. better set for the eclipse. magic happens. spurn the wrist and then, suddenly, singing.
Late wind and old friends. markers met and the counterfeit play lays an aim and so we pray in beds made well before we came back home. warm faces. almond shapes of hope and graceless hands.
Fucking love.
Fucking awe.
Fucking moment upon moment upon slack jaw agog until the knuckles spill the burns and there isn't a goddamn trace of anything to divide us from the whirl.
The kid kissing you in refusal.
Our nude charm.
Our fuck all everything.

Longer pulse
Let's see that mettle, sunshine.
That growl. those shakes and pain.
Elocute unwelcome morning. her face shaped in a murder movie. lips carving rust from a dozen rows of teeth. eyes narrowed in bloodstains. breathing hard and writhing. motions from the prison scene.
Wind butterfly wings while you count the dead.
Aim low.
Turn left.
Slaughters written in epics and salvation games.

Down the curtain
It was the car. the fucking car that brought us home or hell and all the fuck out of the town that dragged the last one good horse into the ground and swilled his bones for candy stones and penny heartaches.
Honda accord.
Not much to speak of from the sight of her for years but that motherfucker took us places we might never have dreamed if we really knew the power of psychadelics. weed. whiskey. beer and in betweens. black and with a system that punched the jams out the back of our heads and steadied justin's deadman handling.
He was the driver. we were the winners.
HA!HA!
MFinc. and subsidiary sin wish. cut and bruised and flailing our youth constitution. another friday. another ride. to the shores or through the coast. past cowfields. into suns rising faster than our dialations could possibly handle and all we could do to stay seeming alive was smoke and listen over and over.
Louder and louder.
Speak sleeping in the back. an old friend tending her studies. more madness than slung parties.
And then there was the crash. the wreck of the thing, at least. we were fine. he was furious. tore the back out the side on a truck back trying to outrace standstill traffic and show some muscle to the uptown church just leaving jesus and carrying his name back to china plates.
It was a mess. he swore a streak and some weeks later, after the setting of rust and past the chance for repairs we gave our black tattered beauty a name. in white paint outside a stadium. shaky. camel filters. hangovers all charm and no substance to make mind of fledgling matters.
And mac screamed.
We'd made it again.
