Breath like marbles,
like drops of green glass
bruising tender throats
& papery lungs
Swallow rose petals,
to soothe
soft caramels
& bitter almond words
Follow sleep down,
dark channels
to warm stories
with wolfish heroes

There was a girl I used to know who always wore sleeves with the #cuffs buttoned. Her foster dad used her as a punching bag & ashtray. I’m reminded of her whenever I see my arms-the same exact #grate of scars. Couldn’t accept it then-but ‘She’ was actually Me.

I befriended a sad dying star.
By the end, I had to hold it to keep it warm.
"Hey," I said. "Light years away, someone is gazing at the night sky, seeing you in your pomp. A radiant, fiery ball of energy..."
It sobbed a neutron sob.
Then I felt it go cold in my arms.

Taste me on your tongue
as you say the words that come
from the depths of want
give them wings & memories
seeds for saplings, sate for yore.
nectar nuzzles
warbles in the spring
lovebirds

From beyond the grave. The ghosts and ghouls misbehave. They wail and weep. It is impossible to sleep. They all join in The Graveyard Rave.

I fell down a trap door in the floor of the universe.
The cellar down here is full of disused stars, old gravity and musty time, all coated in layers of moon dust.
The only thing I can do to alleviate my eternal boredom is to shift that dust, using the vacuum of space.

don’t call me the soil the loam
you know who i am
the dust of zinc the windblown
skin of the land
pond wake muddies my task
& hungover hogs bathe away noon
the gods carry me in a flask
slurping the ocher of June
starry orphans up in the vert
your home is me—the dirt
