Kyle Hemmings

    There you were back in ‘72 sitting Twiggy cross-legged under acrylic mini, easy care, wearing Paco Rabanne’s body jewels, your thoughts like cars with locked windows. You claimed you hid hairstreak butterflies in your foam mattress. I lectured you about how one can never get off the ground without a jack. We lost touch. The broken bridges of years. Later, you started small explosions in the lives of married men. Were disfigured in Tunisia. Died D.W.I. , your soul reduced to chassis and rear axis. I died from a faulty transmission, blue smoke in a Paris bathroom.
    In the junkyard, we hang tough now, memories in heaps, dinosaur speechless in the sun. A scavenger will steal your parts, piece by piece: the wipers— the rhythm of your apologies. He will use your flattened butterfly wings for a sunroof. If I could speak, I’d say We never did travel that far. And if you could feel anything under the world’s weight of scrap metal—you’d smile.
