world's biggest bonfire

farewells dance like
grapefruit on my tongue
choking on the angels
ascending from my stomach
all wings and 
well wishes

time travelling 
with the ghosts in the trees and
lapping up nostalgia

gravity bongs in the kitchen sink
lego harry potter on the wii
in the basement
with a side of tito’s 
a la water bottle
seance in the abandoned chinese restaurant
crying in bathroom stalls and
snorting footballs in your parents’ fireworks stand

lighting the cigarette backwards
laying in the mud
laying in the mud looking at the stars
laying in the mud looking at the stars next to the world’s biggest bonfire
lighting the cigarette frontwards
laying on the train tracks and
counting the seconds til
infinity
