Twilight

Steven Ford Brown

break off a piece of
twilight      hold it in
your hands while the
stars unfold      grind
it against your groin
the earth will reach
up to help you      the sky
will bend down to touch
your forehead      this is
all you can ever do &
you do it grinning
horribly       twilight
broken in your hands
