.sparkle.girl.  -june 2001-

      you're my truckstop mexico; my deep energy reserve
      roadtrip lockpick you always leave me lost

      you're my substitute saviour; dancing on the tabletops
      shouting the unspoken truths of teenage journal keepers

      moving around on my middle finger,
      my living ring of fire,
      your crown of broken promises sits askew.
      a halo hook of feathers at the top of your head
      screaming and dancing you unstoppable acetylene angel.

      if you set the world on fire; everything would look just the same
      and if i lost enough blood to make the porcelain purple
      the sun would still rise and the moon would still set;
      and when we find that our dreams are scattered
      fleks of glass at an accident intersection
      nothing, no nothing, will have changed.

      we'll still be alone, gazing at eachother
      across frozen distance.
      you'll still be the constellation and i'll still be the ocean
     
      and we'll still see this beautiful sky as it was meant to be seen.

           .inverted.
