Morning breath, perfume & blush.
Good morning, I love you!
Botany on a rib.
Your vagus nerve with its teeth —
I’m pet under finger.
9:17

In my speech, I’m not spoken;
in my dreams, I’m not in them.
What’d you hope to find?

3:23

Milk-sweet mornings,
toothaches & wet dreams.
Soothe me —
Stitches on open belly.

Pills across the bathroom,
my grief in her bathwater.

7:31

History of men & violence.

A grief for the future;
I’m the property of mass psychosis.

11:59

As the world is set on fire
they will come for us.

I’ll be looking for you
in every doorway.

4:15

With shoulder pads —
Trichotillomania spells.

Stuck in the door again.
(Voiceless.)

3:40

Teeth behind the door —
All exit strategies.
Do I have your attention now?

2:58

Canine teeth, stress gene.
A fever dream with shock collars.

Softer, Dogtooth —
You’re stealing my health & future.

2:42

My body as:

A love letter. A billboard. A sight of injury.

Domestic, loveless —
newspaper & flower.

9:48

A late afternoon on shoulder,
garden of rosemary & mint.
Golden-hour nostalgia.
Smile down on me.

Daisies of summer breeze.
Tune of joy & impermanence.
Gun of elegy & strain.

7:41

Jawbone floor —
They’re a few doors down…

3:15

After all this ends,
I will learn to breathe.
Out of rhythm & with chest pain.

Hope as a product.
Thank God for ketamine
& the Antichrist!

1:38

Miss a pretty sunset to feel this warm.
All my flowers born of the summer.

Do you see me like I see you?
I’d like to stargaze your sanctuary.

6:53

Cherry stains & clumsy references.
Vines in you —
When downtown, I hope you’re okay.

7:43

Under streetlight, off your mouth.
A play of my name —
And I already forgot my first.

12:48

And I think…
I’ve only ever known regret.

5:41

Hello, Bed-head!
When cut open, I’ll cling to you.
Funny faces, bare toes & pillow talk.

3:07

Memory
Memry
Mmry
M.

Pretty talk, human sound.

4:29

Like handprints on cave walls —
It remembers everything.

3:18

A room for people to miss.
Animal skin wash.

12:00
