He spoke to her about fearing death
and making life

She told him that dying is the easy part,
that it only starts to hurt when you wake up
and realize
you can't

He spoke to her about hope
and the darkness of that word
like a guiding star, gone out,

She told him of the trees
and how everything we try to do
is personified
magnified
in the shining green of this natural world
and the silent speech of civil disobedience
locked in it's leaves.

She told him that humanity is forgiven
with etchings in sixty-four colors
and the howling human honker of a nose
placed on this world's face.

He prayed to his god
for martyrdom.
For release and division.
For a walk into his hell
and abandonment at its gates.
He prayed to his god
for a war in his mind.
For Old Testament tribulation.
For a leader out of his childhood
and into his heavenly reward.

She told him to sit down and have a cigarette
Watch some old cartoons
and soak in the rays of the earth like
a spongebob.

She told him to draw himself
and his world, together.

She told him to love her
and their music.

And then she kissed him.
And he drew her,
in color.
