[What the stars tossed, salt-casual, onto the not-black of the not-night [suggest could be love, but I can't read them.] This is not a love poem, not-love, a not-love poem. Falling waist deep into February stomping the signatures of lost years in footprints on the pristine present- this, not-night has become electric with memories smashing through the thin ice of teenage alchemy, charged, with the possibility of heartache, frostbite, or even a complete skeleton of our separate childhoods frozen underneath. we, are the miners of nostalgia, now. But in this not-night, flushed with the subtle city lights, out here, where our separate homes used to stand, before the shame of trailer trash, or sunken lives or broken glass, we used to play. (this is not a love poem, not-love, this is not how love works in the movies) somehow, when I was dragging you back, across the white field of, NOW, the snowy sleeping hills of our newborn responsibility, birthed backwards, breeching into wide streets and big houses, I fell. Not, with a boom, or a crash, or a crunch, or a scream, but a splash- into the rich dark mud of our trailer park pasts, and your laugh is shaming the careful silence of this not-night, and the muck that has sucked me back into childhood engulfs the not-black in the smell of old bones and sleeping roots. We two, splattered elbow deep and sopping thick, are learning love in spite of the February cold, in spite of your fears and my mistakes, in spite of the not-night and the mud-soaked snow. You drove us here, but I let you wear my jacket.
