the foxtail dropped like a heavy
eyelid - never has there been a
silver thread to tie it to the sky.

you pocket atoms like copper
coins - string me a necklace
to match my raw wind scarf.
"we put on
the raw wind like a scarf"

sylvia plath - love is a parallax

i'll caress a bullet with teeth
akimbo - to see your navel
skin,the moon a button eye.

you can barely hear
the train from here.
instead, synthesisers whir
some droid song
to fill the silence
creeping in between us.

did you see the magpies
resting on the signpost?
they talk about twin cities
chatting through cupphones;
a high-wire walk with love
heart knots to kiss our heels.
happy valentines j x

the constant natter natter natt

scence its all for show now its

all for you dont you see! to be
loved is to be changed i think ill
die now i flower in the daylight

if i could brush the minutes
under the rug ohh trust me i
would build you a mountain

or a hill or a knoll or some
hole for a mole it depends
on when youre here come

i can feel red sky in my eyes
darling theyll only set to the
lullaby we sang then. bloom
