Do I Need A New Profile Picture
my clammy fingers
turn down
the phone's volume
cheap
little water proof speaker
bangs
"living in the past"
jethro tull
always comes through
focus
remember the goal
they're touring germany
i don't even have control over this keyboard
72° out and i'm in a temu hoodie
focus
the cat wants in
read 100 poems for every one that you write
remember your own rules
remember the good times
screw the bad
the cat wants out
YOU
should go out
get some vitamin d
the tunnel should lead to light
so
be brave &
fling this into the darkness
no rescue
an explosion
6 children fry
hummingbirds choke
on
a fine mist
steady
and
still
spilling over
fragile clover
like sunset
you dance alone
&
somewhere
death
&
glitter

Memory lane...
particular tokens of little. your wizard hat is great chaos
ascending. my dress, scattered lustre. i have been writing
a harp machine for your new tongue. and let my thighs pour into
air
birds that fly back from the night
the cinema of your lips
_______________
Now You Say I Hold The Key
of course I do
my foot hooked to this bar stool
brain
drooling
shot glasses stacked
like poker chips
I’m a burglar
with a calisthenic soul
I have a crooked face
and a large milky bed
you can rest there
still as a toy
and in the morning
I’ll put on my white dress
and wash your skin
we’ll be eggs
fat as generals
solid as blood
we’ll be each others trigger-
happy punctuation

Not Poem Hands)Little Anything With Hands
your star eyes
hook me
but
continue
because no circling winks are lost
wanted –
a sun world
that creates the temple
of mushy want poems
more
shrinking beers &
I wrote this one
to the boy with the mini
belly button ring
his nodding face on my back
everything cube & cool
_______________
Once
he asked
where have u been?
beneath us the moon is giving it away
to water
& shiny things gently fold in
upon themselves
has something beautiful happened?
only upstream
your tree shouldered
slopes
are being coded with black silver
