SLUMBER TRUMPETS

SLUMBER TRUMPETS

love is like slumber trumpets.
It’s all the same, really being different.
but somehow you quit winning 
before you play.
our notes bleat and percolate
in the gypsum of our dross.
we burn through heavens
like bearer bonds 
but foster shadows
on the dark side
of the sun.
at a loss.
