Exosphere Apr 2021

there is a lot more
great, cheap *** in the world today
but for the really good stuff
you still have to pay

security

feline curl
in the crook of your arm
relaxed
in the blind feral faith
that she is the one

agitation

it is now so recognizable
anxiety
the need to run
literally
figuratively

sun

it’s too dangerous
for my mind
and my skin

bravado

in wavering
the timber sounds strong

be now

now is now
now is
right
now
my smiles
my arms
my lips
they are
now

Exosphere Apr 2021

all the hellos and goodbyes
boil down to a rainy Sunday
with piano music
and hot chocolate
