hours inside out - Isabella Preisz
out
l’esprit de l’escalier
l’esprit de l’escalier
your dog was humping, humming history
the door was closing, holding humidity
your mouth was fizzing a faint fallacy
does she make you happy,
viridity
your old home eating gray topiary
the paint drying for decayed misery
your car driving to the cemetery
we fight to fix nothing,
history
two limp limbs stretching rubber, twisting shame
they are tangled spaghetti with red paint
they are broken tables with no frame
they are unfinished, half-awake restraint
to open your broken gate, to feel rain
to never feel clean, to say the wrong name
to hold the hand barricading my way
to turn yellow, to fuck for a game
this is the story i forgot to say
growing dark-green mildew during the day
winter red night a crooked neck
petrichor
when the roads get slick
i still think about your fingers
sliding in the hole of my stockings
like reaching
through a chain-link fence
when the air is wet like this
your nose still leaves a trail
of goosebumps down
my waist leather
seats sticking to skin
notes written in margins
smudged
ink rain trickling
down stucco
your bones between my teeth
it’s been years
since i pulled scabs
from your throat
close this window
& say goodnight
we slept in the hallway
with sheets over our eyes watching
lightning spread through veins
in the sky fingers
through hair inhaling morning
breath kneading
