I relinquish today
and all days
boring as that sounds

I serve up
a quietness
that will eat

and I take
you with me
to hold

you wonder
about that
and I insist

You accept
that
and make ready

If only
that which graced me
would save me

Driving this inebriated body around
thinking about how that sounds
in your  head in your bounds

Do you leap up at
What do you leap up at
Is leaping up still a thing in you

Turn, do you have a turn
will you take a turn at this
ode to the things in the way

yay, they are us, we are one
holding on for dear life
that opposition you see

me falling away grasping at you
while you ask why do I run
and I am here *** falling away

The fields we can't detect
except with the heart
are occupied
paying sorrow backwards
thinking the past can hear
and time is an involuntary
oof

You are allowed
to be beautiful
You are allowed
to be fun
You are allowed
to be *****
You are allowed
to lie
You are allowed
to know
It's you that
allows

I've been calculating my life
over rice
I've been percolating again
thank you
Against the grain making
grin (awkward)
I've been sublimating my life
now you see
I've been culminating all along
feel the rise
I am candilating my life
on the way
meaning surrenders
and making stuff up
puts down its tools

I'd like two ******* to go

I'd like skin against me

I'd like nothing so much

I'd like to dispel a rumor
about poets
they actually are
best in bed
