absorption spectrum

will i find you in the absorption spectrum, or simply where i left you - in the spaces i guess i could call intentions, between my heart lingers and my gypped fingers between what i thought i said in a dream eleven years ago and what i tried to say to you before you had to hang up because i called when you were trying to die - what this all means to say is what i have always been asking: where are you?

I am not even going to open the menu. I am going to absorb your brown eyes and pay the check with my black ties and tip with my chartreuse thighs and this evening will only end when the pinata filled with tequila gets a bucket and moldy mop stuck underneath instead of the birthday boy and his reluctant friends who are all tired of being drunk while mommy attends another crucifixation.
