me either.

i forget to breathe. a sweatsalt lullaby caromes off the nightening sky.
"for everything's fucking sake!!!" i want to scream. i can't scream. i yell
so fiercely this sake*miso forsakeness, wasabi sting, her perfect skin/
averted eyes...i saw you for sure looking at my window...don't reply.

so shallots sever a necropolis, shhhh. i mean shush. grityourteeth one
slicing back and forth sinews, slung into a grace i cannot name. nearsight
ability to penetrate panes through which a million signals defract. i love
your light eyes in the dark slieght of shadowed doorways, say bedframes.

when paychecks are paint: the searchslides will set life, the evensong
calls pantomimetic, a nearwhisper catcall, an inaudible curse, the cast-
out old will generate ships, set anchor in love...spell everyword wrong.
the elephant in the parlour is your desert hoofprint thirst: a hearse.

bloom sixteen petalholes in the door. catch balloon flights two high.
cotton forgetting, your thighs miss me, your eyes are suchdeep mirrors.
i am a hearth where secret pages turn to flameghosts, your name
on every one. you are tonguetied bright, a porchlamp for my life.

  • I love the consistency of this. It is melodic. Though high and low, light and dark, it is coming from one place, one feeling, explored in full. Or that's how it seems to me. Somehow it isn't straying.
