Shiver / Not Shimmer

both of us were built to resist,
stripped to ribbons full in bloom,
fastened up into bruises, into stains.

and when i shut off my senses,
you're beside me in this room.
you're forever smiling, brimming with rain.

and you feel me shiver,
i don't feel you shimmer.
you know the numbing way the tape loop rings and whimpers.

and the walls they bend and shake,
and the doors they overflow.
i come open again, you crawl in and take control.

both of us are cease and desist,
tread upon like morning dew,
waiting patient for the weather to change.

and when you shut off your senses,
there's no chance you'll get away,
as the waves smash headlong into the break of day.

burst through me
blue church.
gather all the shatters
and give them a name.
