What sticks is rarely what was meant:
a breath, a bruise, a stolen scent.
The heart decides what’s relevant,
buries the rest in sediment.

that my heart broke - it is no
Prince Rupert's drop, invincible
until it is not. it was buffeted
by fate, by life, by the way
you grabbed food for yourself,
not me. little things, until the integrity
is shot, and the chips in free fall

of my heart - it was in my mouth,
beating, bloody, then flew through the air,
ostensibly to you. see, here is the hollow
it used to wallow in. please tell me
you know where it is, and it has not
been crushed underfoot.

your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
so much to do, so much to see
to bring us sugar and rum and tea
we'll take our leave and go
you'll never shine if you don't glow
your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
so much to do, so much to see
to bring us sugar and rum and tea
we'll take our leave and go
you'll never shine if you don't glow
what can we agree on?
everything decays, orbits shift
even February twitches a little to the left
every four years. tiny imperfections
in the lens, and each lens made of
different space dust. the calibration
off, just a smidge of a gap,
and the tower leans.

is like the ocean floor, it looks
flat through the waves of pain
but each new step could take you
off a cliff
into a riptide
back to shore
but it's hard to know your direction
in the storm

was blunt and brief -
"keep yer fingers outta the machine,"
but contingencies, contingencies
and no time to waste meant
his hand chased down any issue,
daily emergencies building until
the steel got a taste for his tissue
