I used to go digging for my bones to plant an açaí in the plot. I used to go fishing for my bones in a sea of plastic waste. I used to go hunting for my bones to eat and eat and eat and eat.

I suppose it's okay if every once in a while you remember the good in the times far away how once you laughed when she laughed her silly laugh and when you used to feel nervous at the sound of her voice. her voice might call butterflies into your heart a honeycomb maze dripping thoughts like molasses drops. maybe that's okay. and if you ever wonder what it would be like now to kiss her forehead before bed and be her little spoon in the mornings after happy dreams I supposed I can't blame you for the fantasies I don't know. I've seen them too. Your hips between the space in her legs, her hair polite under your chin, fearing parenthood together. I think to live your life with someone else means to accepts that we'll never be one another's and we won't be as close as the dreams we have of others, like of myself and the forest and the rocks and the birds outside my window and the *** I'd have outside in the invisible nowhere and the wildflowers caressing and scratching my fat legs; of the women I'd hold. So I suppose I can't blame you for sometimes wishing for someone else when the possibilities for our lives are so huge and we only choose one another.

first kiss
That little boy we both know, his nose dabbed with whipped cream, smiling ice cream lips, chin speckled with sprinkles like his freckles. everything that feeling is, is you.

Writing music is the sweet pear dream I plucked from a choir in springling years. Back then I also dreamt of mermaid kisses and reality television. Why would a beast wish me music now?

dramatic werewolf music
Under the still and open stars of a cousin's farm too far to touch, I've dreamt of whiskers on catfish since we last had tea. The Waitomo Caves are strung by glowworms I was too afraid to be touched by. What if it touched my arm and had me turn around? If one had stuck my lip? If I'd feel my face in blue glow light just for a while? I'd rest my head upon your arm to take a memory for Facebook. Your college crush would see herself as phosphoric string that brushed your hair. At night we'd drink a flower-blossomed tea and meet again, two cave fish in a dream.

Sovereign, star-flower, Sorcerer-painter. Essence of pink Skittles and air incised by blue-lightning. My lady hums fire between lines in lips -- smoke and perfume watermelon.
