A marzipan cage; the house tastes of her. Everything she touches becomes hers, touches back. At night, walls press close, pulsing. She runs her mouth along a lip of cool glass. Domestic. The cat knows. Paces. The word is a fury, agreeing to purr. In small, slow circles.

Holy Writ
Grumpy preachers in leathered jackets
spit ps
alms
on the paving
slabs,
I drink
their words
raw,
like blood from a bitten lip,
and feel the city’s heartbeat
hammering my blistered bones.

8 Ways to Survive the World
One #sparrow for cheer,
two for good fortune.
Three in a tree
to keep us from harm.
Four grow too loud,
five make a family.
Six become friends,
and seven's a swarm.
Eight sparrows deep,
they return,
true to form.

It was only by
happenstance
that divine
intervention interceded
so nothing would be
left to chance
leaving it all
to fate

I carry my #nostalgia in a paper sack filled with broken memories and half-felt sensations of freedom. There's a hole in the bottom and every time I write something, bits of the past leak out.
