And in the mirror is an older girl from yesterday, for it was then that I wrote every fantasy for which i've yearned upon a golden sheaf and I tied it to a kite, black and red and orange, and I watched it sail up and up and up and forever away from here, for what will dreaming do me except milky teardrops and sagging doorframes. I'd like to live a life in peace away from falsities, and it is for that reason which I cringe at the lies and shallow untruths which are spoken around my core, too close, I push away. If I could fly I would go to the seas with whitecaps of pearl and ruby fishes jumping across my lazy, sundried belly, impregnated with ideals, puffy with a folly that gives the only true happiness. But if is but a word and I am but a girl and maybe with my grandmothers looking down upon me I will be that emerald eyed fox running for the moon.

I    wish     I could    write  her a
poem   to   do   justice,  but  how
does  one  write  a love  poem  to
the   sculpting   of   her    neck.  I
love  her,  not  dejectedly, flatly
nor  frantically,  but  full  of  that
perfect,    full   ­ pleasure    which
whips,   through   veins   and  all

my favorite poems are
chapters in a story
I can watch as you
fall in love or
squash insecurity
I can almost say im
there with you.

dealer looks at me
he makes time stand still
drilling through the barren sea I call my face
and I can tell he knows, just how much like jelly
my bones become with him standing there and how melty
the wasteland I call my heart gets: a phenomenon Id call unsafe and self betraying.

the man with whom I am in love
gets others high in his freetime
and deals.

i wish helplessly to be his only business interest.

its always when we walk at night
on the right side away from the yellowed lights
we pick each other up in our arms and
we run
because that's what we were born to do

I do believe
we were made for each other. every last one of us
made to press against the dents to hold the blood in
and ill love them forever because
its only with them that
I live, truly
