blue balloons floating huddled in the early morning dumpster
arcade carpet print tissue paper
we sing happy birthday to the flies

fingerprint bruises
prettier than precious stones
twined about my throat,
bruises on your neck
in the shape of
the grip around your arms

the collar looks better
against a backdrop
of blistered purple

ragged desert fringe;
failed explorers trudging back
sunscorched, sandstorm-scathed

mistshrouded mourners
corpse-sallow in somber black
fall closer, closer
black shroud (lace)
pulled tight (rain)
funeral kiss (me)

dead-drop envelope;
words eclipsed by mildewstains
decompose, unread
in the openings and highways of brick
you leave me loveletters, hidden,
to be eaten by the paperbugs and delivered to the dead

longlost loveletter;
kiss-sealed airmail envelope,
return to sender
fence, separating
fingers, together
kiss, undelivered

rivulets run feverhot;
saltdrenched panting squirm
backwash hot
humid sticky
gross air

hair falling into the sink
third time this year
my bones still ache
the living room couch is still empty
the house fire still not reported

searching out

boy pearls

your coffee cup
hands shaking
as you listen to the morning news

your skin has particular grooves
and bumps and landmarks and textures
even blind, i still know you by feel
you started used lotion in secret
because that skin, that thing i knew,
made you feel gross
and my hands these days are lost dogs looking for their backyards
hoping to catch kinetic scent

the smell of skin touched skin
i know who you've been with, but I'm just happy you're feeling better

your eyes
ochre light
sepia nostalgia

ice cream and lime and ginger
on the tongue
unseasonal tapeworms
your teeth are crowded in your mouth
around last year's new year

down to the last
droplet
of an atom
of the ground up star matter

your body comes alive
your spirit, your cells, your spinal cord comes alive
deliver us from shaking hands
dead winter leaves
and doubt

with muscles tight
we jump from this ledge
into the air
atmosphere
nebula
or the eyes of another

and a hill too early died on

wrap the veil around
his drunken, deadpan clothing
to make a wedding dress - glamorous, beautiful, ill-fitting
for the wedding he dreams about
fitfully under the gibbous moon

your arm holding the same open wound
that mine had three years ago
and now marked by a sharp scar
is no mistake
even if you say it's coincidence
