I hold you like a hole holds light

I carry you down the black steps. 
 
Burlingame is the size of joy: 
a race past bakeries, gold rings 
in open black cases. I don't care 
who sees my crooked smile 
 
or what erases it, past the bakery, 
when you tire. We ride the blades again 
beside the crooked bay. You smile. 
I hold you like a hole holds light. 
 
listen to it here
