Perfect

I made a treehouse
Out of driftwood,
Then tied a rope
For you to climb up on.

You point to my tree
And the ocean, saying...

"...it's their choice,
Not mine."

So I bought a photograph of your perfect face
With my ugliness and wept on it,
Ruined it.

You laugh when you see tears,
Then regret it privately.

I want you publicly,
And in print.

Headline News:
God says we're wheat.

I want you to shave my face, then
Cry out when you feel
How the skin melts.
Oh no... you can't resist it.

Like a hazard trap, I love you,
Like a devout privilege
Confessional,
With nails.

When you preach to the masses,
I cower with a shiny apple in my fist,
Pretending I know magic...
Just to scare myself.

Because I do know magic.

I do.

1000 miles out to sea on a perfect raft.
