accomplice

throwing ribbons round each other
we conversed loudly through a ballerina's mirror
my imagination coiled in my hands
when I remembered every prayer

the zoo I'd only thought of
materialized with a finger around mine
and the iridescent glow of 30,000 highways
dissolved the dream into this life

I ran for mine 
made a call to Chicago
shivered down Oakland
the act interrupted 
brought back to the senses
not sick to think
I could have an accomplice.
