Polaroid

Warm as winter
     leaking.
Two cars on the sidewalk,
snowfall purple
in corrupted emulsion
     and our curled hands
stained blue.
Red, the color of sighs
on the bedroom floor
after three hours
of staring.
     Four hours in wet
shoes, stuck between
freezing and scraping
away the heat of our
blood-oaths.
     Sunsets lost
to kaleidoscope eyes—
        Tell me how to spill
        over words you'll understand.
