Please remember me happily, by the rosebush laughing



with bruises on my chin the time when we counted every



black car passing your house beneath the hill and



up until someone caught us in the kitchen with maps,



a mountain range, a piggy bank, a vision to remove dimensions,



but please remember me fondly.



I heard from someone you?re still pretty and then they



went on to say that the pearly gates had some



eloquent graffiti like we?ll meet again and fuck the man



and tell my mother not to worry and angels with their



gray and shades but all is done in such a hurry and



please remember me at Halloween making fools of all the neighbors



our faces painted white by midnight we?d forgotten one another



and when the morning came I was ashamed



only now it seems so silly that seasons left the world and then returned



and now you?re lit up by the city



so please remember me mistakenly in the window of the tallest tower



call and passes by but much to high to see



the empty road at happy hour gleam and resonate



just like the gates around the holy kingdom



with words I?ve lost and found and don?t look down



did someone save temptation and please remember me



as in the dream we had as rug burn babies among



the fallen trees and fast asleep beside the lions and



the ladies that called you what you like and even mine



give a gift for your behavior of lead and chance to see



a trapeze swinger high as in a savior but



please remember me, my misery and how it lost me all I wanted



those dogs that loved the rain and chasing trains



the colored birds above they?re running in circles round the well



and where it smells on the wall behind St. Peter so bright



on cinder gray and spray paint. who the hell can see forever?



and please remember me soundly in the car behind the carnival



my hand between your knees you turn from me said



the trapeze act was wonderfulbut now were meant to last



the clowns that passed saw me just come up with anger



when it filled the circus dolls the parking lot had an element of danger



so please remember me finally and all my uphill crawling



my dear but if I make the pearly gates I?ll do my best to make a drawing of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl, an angel kissing on a sinner, a monkey and a man, a marching band all around a fractured trapeze swinger.
