hello : noun -
dreaming of birch, but bleached
coloring in white with a very faint green
while looking into the sky, not at it.

ipseity: noun:
holding your breath until you feel it
--the abstraction of it, outside yourself
behind your eyelids, in your tea leaves
clenching fists, curling lips; seeing it on the internet

cartography: noun:
engraving your face onto my retinas

and burns into a permanent membrane;
roadmapping your freckles, curating my favorite ones

I'm waiting for something to shake me
hiding in the meantime,
stalling in my prime time,
omitting perfect rhymes
and waiting for something to make me

forgetting where the mind goes in the white-washed stills
lapses in the film
writhing in the sheets
in between asleep
and crying on the plane to San Francisco

I'll play you the set
to the cadence of whispers
on white sheets somewhere

in the soft glow
on acoustic guitar
carved wood, strumming words
into dim light and tired eyes
easing and breathing
to me, you're warm tea
tell me, tell me

I'm as transient as pollen today
but yesterday I was just floating like a gossamer
watching the wind blow seeds off of dandelions
and the daylight drum on the daffodils
white water lilies in my bedroom and cool jasmine at my window
the perfumed petals seeping into my psyche
no, I don't love you dearest
I only love the cloudless sky

the sun sets at 4'oclock central time
it's not right, it's not real
and when I turn off the lights and sit in silence.
I am in a constant state of overstimulation
I want it all

conversations and conundrums
songs you hum at night
voids we might fill with the words you dangle from your ballpoint pen
imagined, enamored, unreal
