I'm not looking for someone
to marry, but should I be?

What kind of excuse is 'I'm a piece of
****'? Are you stuck the way you are?

What type of end is beginning?
No need in talking of known knowns.

I can't wait to be
loved fully

To be worthy of
excess and effort

She said I feel like
he's only going to really appreciate who you are
and what you guys have like years after you've broken up.

And I agreed that I'd
shared the same sentiment.
In the end we tend to only be practice.

I added, however, that we have a lot of fun
and get along so well, and she said
But he talks as if you don't exist in his world

Upon arrival it smells
exactly as it should,
or only slightly different
than how it ought to

it should be
equal too; not you
like a morning mood
it can be a fickle youth

A poem lays:
a floor
It asks: what
am I naked for?

~
Beauty the incunabula
—first traces—of poetry

Feelings—known but unnamed—
spurned from the sublime


~
So fine
the lines
widening

like child’s
eyes before
fruit

ripening,
before it’s
known what
right is

any
good for you
—as mud for
elephants—

Snacks at
noon

I closed my eyes
and let my muscles
go by memory

What sound does
wild emotion take
when transferred?

Keys blindly pressed fall
as leaves in the fingers
like fission in autumn

Flow so hot,
I got Satan sweatin

I got ****** more strung up
than a cotton gin

Candy flippin, cross faded-
chase it down with gin

I pluck her *******,
like a bouquet

Tie that *** up,
call me Christian Grey

What am I doing?
I am washing dishes

I am nowhere else but
where I am now
