We were standing atop Meridian
Sunsetting orange flames
John smoking and saying
"What if New York were just as close
To heaven as we are tonight"
I didn't really get what he meant by that
But it sounded pretty

I knew in thirty or so minutes once the sun was down
The hotel guests would be out here at the bar
And I had to disappear. But the way John
Held onto each cigarette drag - those sharp lips and
Leather eyes lit by the ember flaring at his fingertips -
I wanted to watch him glow forever.

Don't shit where you eat they said they said but
When you work in a slaughterhouse
Everything looks like it'll be good in your mouth
After some time. it was then I noticed the way
John rubbed his fingers along the cheekbones of
Our last job.

"Bankers always have the best jawlines"

He said

"Always eating. always hungry"

I asked him

"Have you ever eaten a man before?"

He shined his yellow teeth with a point to point smile and whispered.

We made love after every job since.

I told him I loved him and he looked at me like a dog.

The time after that ended in an argument.

And by the time after now I'll be a hundred miles between Birmingham and John's beautiful body beading blood at the bottom of the boxcar.

I can still hear him smile.
