the remedy -
i promised healing but there
is more salt than sorry
tank filled with
specs of mica
black ice
quicker like my mouth
hanging open
scooping up the danger on my tongue

i want to be in it.

just a walk
trepidatious and slow like
molasses
mirin simmering in a pan until it evaporates
concentrate
on your arms
my fingers pushing in
designer label dizzy
a falling tenderness
blame it on the music
a word is born between lips like bubblegum
expanding at the sound
the familiar bitterness
an overwhelming
growing chew

fancy myself out of ice i admit: ::::i am scared::::
faking tears into my wine glass
savoring the desire
the vastness of the old
quickness of new
lapping at me like ,,,waves,,,,,,,,,,
i remember a moment and i am too late
to it
if you give me this one i will
give you another one
i appreciate you for playing nice

swift into my lungs he
yells
my name like
i had any option
in worship.
i pretend
this sandy beach
keys going into
incorrect locks i am
correct in locking
him
out.

you are still pulp in my mouth
you are still dripping down my chin
a pit hard and breaking
hot like july

i smear constellations across my chest
for those heavy days
the rain falling into a sour smell.

a boy once connected the moon to the tides for me
-ran cold-
i fell in love for the first time
connecting tissue

a night where i have gone to sleep with full makeup on
knowing full well you will call to pick me up
