  1. abandonment found in a footprint' by Tasha
    wide outlandish drops
    fall in
    the softest of you

    a softness raging

    nah, that sounds like sex
    blushes
    lashes and Fibonacci

    don’t bring math into this
    to unlock the eye-key?

    moan bump
    sky flesh

    braille my toes
    embrace the fat
      helix   melt -
           down

    twirl -

    ing

    tiny
    approaches

    today
    the tide

    straight over

    moonfields


    < - >


    let’s code the night
    into
    a dress

    load roots
    breathe white
    and glow silver

    touch windows
    maybe even a chosen lawn

    frost - ha -
    a mere blankness.

    nothing-stump


    don’t trip
    love swarm,
    sink-hole,
    net bog.

    stab in - the - had
    ooO
    another ouzo shot!

    lock up
    snow pupil

    pelted

    throat trunk

    < : >

    keep me here
    i have a problem with the sun
    there is too much space in its noise

    try to balance it
    between your eyes
    and don’t fall

    there is rain in the moon-dust

    a catch-less divinity

    sent via iphones


    ...........................................................................

 

no beginning no middle no end
through the glass in the floor

wild treetops

       a snarl of fires to the east

 & just like that
we are
                                    gone

through cloud bellies

packs of holes

evacuation


and the galaxy in the ceiling
we can touch it from the recreation deck
the robot, you and i

swarming strands
twist to touch us

plaited and dangerous

as it jumps in its kite of empty balloons

as it breathes the lost air

tearing in a circle between two stars


sometimes i keep myself
in your idea
or the day closing

i dream secrets
a light-less loss

the speeding on an old road
all the time
is turned
inside out
it stretches over hidden wounds
even after you burn

DRAFT THREE by Tasha Klein mAY 13TH 2014


omg

more foil-buckets
in the bucket of hell

toe-
rings
and pilgrim thighs

the messy dance to the pill ration

then we sit on a shiny couch
with the remote
harvesting all the channels

what are you trying to be? a
fucking poem?

here’s the thing:

telephones

corners
&
blurry destinations

the fear aches in my stomach

down in the cafeteria

bones echo

empty
words
stick to paper

sometimes a nurse drifts by

[that

crushing submarine
war tide]

suspicious vermilion hair - only cloud marrow

I look at the drowsy in your eyes;
a mirror

Future Islands - "Seasons" @ Letterman 3/3/14

STAY AWAY FROM CRAZY by Tasha Klein


lie in your bed
listening -
weighing words that are being stomped upon,

and the ones you can’t help;

stay away
from instruments of illusion.
stay away from portentous doors so wrinkled in time &

angled
by the sea.

remember:
auras give blue people
a raft and one more smooth
breath.

stay away from the voice.
which could trick you with its eyes,
its, tattoo-
kiss.

feel the burn of this
red visaged war;
sending hearts
to frighten cupids

before the gull returns home.


you could start the rising of a lighthouse

for the frozen.
or collect tears
from their dreams

knot a knot @
the cable’s - the street
of circumstance,
a mono strut beauty
commits aortic crimes.
she can’t help herself
so don’t throw yourself in front of the dancing dart
the rising nymph;
the sly, beautiful,
ambling witch
the ocean will bury
with massive shudders.
sadness is just an embedded scream, its center arched over love’s gigantic winter
moments
