still writing a bunch! here are some that i wrote a while back and still like:
i can play most songsif you give me a minutelumped in the tub filled to the brimwatching the showsstretching my toesswirling the suds
here’s the life cordwrapped to your wristit gives us the minute
here on the soft downylawn of the back of your headwe don’t check the weatherso much as stepping so lightlyshaking like an overwhelmed witnessspeaking of growth of goodnessplease come home nowand make your nest
when it’s warmest we paint each other’s dreams
-
what is wrong the words i chosewhen is the show don’t stay long squinting in the parking lot waiting on a shoe to drop
who are you frozen augustill and dogged tried and true torn up tickets at the gate laminated student rates
don’t be mine no good moneyunbecoming until the time
to arrive in the smoky glow of unknowing unraveling
you had hardly knocked when I said come on inwrap yourself up in my heavy blanketit was a gift we can share it
i lifted the fabricup and over our heads from the darkness we peered outthrough crocheted stitchesin air which was warm and thick
we were furniturefor a long time it was like this
the leaves try to flyfor the first and last time
i like you as you aresunset landing from afari like what you’ve run intoand how it changes
--
things i do now that i know you
i make sound effects when i walki keep my right foot planted and pivot aroundi stretch my arms long to reach the groundup coffee and when i pour it say “pew pew!”

limbo is a container for timewhere one waits for godotand knows how low one can gohow long one can hold ontoa breath before it hurts in the chestwith pinprick moments of silencehanging in the upper halves of windowslike potted plants watching gardensglow in the twilight, wanting to know
