Tonight's Poet Corner: Two

Two
by Belinda Roddie

two blue boys
played in a room
that was painted thirty
different shades of

nostalgic moments
sitting at the bar,
asking a redhead,

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from a planet
fraught with warfare
with lions chewing tanks
and swallowing chunks of"

your hand against my lower
back, where the tailbone
meets with the staircase
hidden in blue
