i won’t sing the deep thing from a corner. who would take me for their favorite riptide? this could be so jubilant, dear arteries, but you love a swivel—and they wonder how a body turns that grayer form of gorgeous. as if wonder was the ember and not the sum of deaths before it.

i may dissolve today.
it all depends
on how my salt behaves—
the way it cakes across your skin.
my ricochet of crystal
off your fickle chemistry within.
i only want to alter you
till i become the salt of you
& the mist upon your flesh
is the bliss in which i swim.

no news is good
news like a wind
pipe in a noose—
like a letter from
a lost friend you
won’t look for
without a friend
who knows what
you’ll do upon
the gray discovery
your first friend
was never lost
but just hovering
in a feverworld
in an anything
you were not.

recipe for creation—
take something broad like rot
roll the word over your tongue
& off your chin & down your belly
find a quiet stone
who has never felt you die
set a limit like your narrow veins
or maybe fifty words
then against your apprehension
commit treason

i’ll only wax long enough to slow the old song down. call yourself human, your home sphere is blue & softer than you ever hoped. earth has been a nurturing surrogate & when we evaporate, may we learn to lift her on our elevator made out of sunpowder. flame our leaving as a bloom.

we went as a dare. packs abrim with waves of bottled sound, fins to swim the loam as our hips still had none. tent irrelevant. we saw the site in a far yawn of blackfern—moon cracked just enough to let us in. all the wings & legs at awkward angles. we never felt the web.

it really was just you against the grass. your body eclipsing a patch that will never know sun the same way after. something about destiny or decay—i don’t recall the dream but love your brows no less. the way you gazed up then left. swiftly left me with a nothing underneath.

take the feedback how you can—hop the fence after the last fetti has fluttered & slink across the bloody turf to stuff its crumpled scraps into your muddy parka. take it & run fast to your refuge. open with abandon. read the remaining omens & return your mind to diamond.

umbrella lungs and kites and things
keep her up at nite;
eyeblink waves and squalls of bees
find her in a hover over fields;
the jackalilies delicious missionary tall
blackboot tight
all this made sense on paper
until the stars kicked the sky
bled winking, knowing how but
not quite why

I wander off like a butterfly net then you wander in like an exploratory surgery. If you're not waiting out my collection and I'm not escaping your findings is there a chance we're working together? It might explain our hobbies being connected by fate's nervous two stomach system.

As evening carries us home

Shape of us
Stretching out
