relationships & a mai tai

                          
there is nothing ever perfect
this is how I know sunlight
and the irony of a thumbnail
bigger than the moon

nothing's ever holy
not even the sound of pine
or the notion of a hacking cough
bigger than your laugh.

I could beg forgiveness,
but you would only snore
i will cry a moment, but not a moment more

there's nothing ever honest
this is how i know hot tea
and the pittance of a heartbeat
bigger than the word

nothing's ever faithful
this is how I know stained glass
and the harmony of an ambulance
faster than a sin.

I will scream forgive me
but you won't hear a thing
