movement of cloth can define
emotion
and
status

so strip us naked and we feel
what it is
to touch
and hurt
in all actuality

but give them time
and oh
the **** is this
a moldering joke
that I just can't laugh at anymore

hide away
for the sun pelts down
and gives us words
that we use
to bleed
and think with

in our hiding
we grow moss
as a stone not rolling
and
photosynthesize

Untitled

no longer the same,
noticing the time.
things are noticeable
when they're different.

the clock on the wall
is only as reliable
as those who made it
to tick.

the present is the past
if the moment doesn't last

~~~

always arriving,
like forgetting something at home
and driving back
and driving back.

forgetting flowers

If you hear me say that all my love
is for the Fall
than I'm a fool who's forgotten the Spring.

it was

as if I am to make a small space smaller
to bring you all to gather
there blankly in a field
here shall we look at gems or metals
or plants or animals and judge their worth
and find only
this
this
an eternal meaning never meant for hands
for books
even in writing this is escaping me
an effervescent truth makes me laugh and
rip the pages bubbling
out of my hands
a fumbling
grasp
of gasps
and the entirety
that I may have made
is already the river

Triboelectic 2

tough touch
teach me a lesson
tell me something today that you know now
not recalled but balled up and bounced
out of your mouth
once soft, broken
broken, wet
all over the floor
skin to skin
shocking!

something stupid
surface
makes me laugh
when we touch

where

I wanted this line
or this
or the next
to be the one that caught your eye like fire
far away and swept through space
shooting beam bouncing on a glass surface
windshield car you almost were hit
by
and completely forgot about
by tomorrows dinner

now where were we?
