{the lovely liquid inside you} nick bertelson the lovely liquid inside you: like the fluid lights behind my lids or the motion of me behind you changing the way you, with the changed light, change : birds scratch in trimmed bushes : today we learned that 7 and 1/2 gallons will fit in a cubic foot & the filling of that with the lovely liquid inside you would do : the windblown blinds or the spilt soap bubbles over the cursive you wrote that question in & the cursive in which you write "the going to what lasts" are what make the I'll-never-drink-again mornings & the nights of drinking I do again : the lovely liquid inside you--- watch it soaking the heavy bed's mattress : big black animals look through little black eyes with lights blinking behind their lids : the spot where I hide my tattoo of you sitting on a funnel with a serious wind & a secret that you're always part of, this absorbing that I do : the lovely liquid inside you ---feeding the fish licorice with : watching the leeches that swim in : naming the clouds made of: keeping a cup balanced because : no use crying over or crying over the use of: when will you let them bottle: distribute: abuse: the lovely liquid inside you? |
