escapril

a liminal space: lana is stuck in my head

she's on the other side
beyond windows
and tv screens
beyond fretting and
sterile waiting rooms

she bubbles in my mouth
and begs me for a taste
of an acid or a base
or something
neither

she's somewhere out there
happily crucified
in the wildflower valley
you'll see her
slip a finger or two
down my spinal column

she calls it
a roman pillar
a grecian colosseum
a native totem pole
fondly

just beyond the barrier
she's extending a hand to me
as if the weather
is somehow
pleasant

a/n: a liminal space between its's inconsequential birth and it's insignificant death.
