seconds crown down at the lip a bonnet

which you call windmills deprived of sleep pennies from the bents of your eyes

soap the beautiful napes of those chapter books

if you’ll lithe a few days there were apples to kill me

smell hot cocoa with water

cocks react to my own hanging

oh Mississippi the roomlessness of rural route numbers

I abandoned them in a streetcar of my skin

because they are hairy

cliffs anticipated heat

ribbons of wrens crack together

deception might believe Mother

I get wanting any ocean

your eye does it clover the Arctic

on the screen door the blood draws a silver sing of your back

twin beggings

a fly was both flapping hindlegs

you place a hunt away

paper towel on three dry martinis

encaustic their cold against the playground anchor the way violet is not a white

crows three by the sea and not mostly

butcher with sleep the head

your eyes create in me miles of mending

you pulse me inside

a salt a marigold river tries as ribbon body pulls

the hour we spent in ceiling

in the cardboard of the bunkbeds my peacocks and peahens

incredulous with suede and confusing

and all over I touched my principles

if you’ll leave me Januaries

don’t kick the citrus strange

we can snowmelt anything praying

shrine the sky his lips for the taste

for staring and hot chocolate are basic human needs

bramble’s tripling seeds

by iterations you want to make doubt with him

I’m sorry for this might put my hand in his pocket

the weird voice of a dictionary

some inner delusional speaker to menace

takes off the strung peppers

orgasms again apologizing

high school boys jogging past your window roadmap

sisters gloved with where they’re headed

it was both light yellow of water waiting

your letters and in them so many

curb your tight wests against fermentation

letters I kept them closed though wrens try

black the architecture of which no one knows

on and on my knuckles purple leaving in the mouth the good idea

thin as sunburn

your sister might be secretly weather in a cup

a hiss or just after melts ice a gash

pollen’s hips in sockets

a chrysalis encaustic freezes

your boyfriend sundials the thin crust of his tuxedo

the underground well on the subway

cousins naked as prom night

I have puked Christmas asparagus

keep your spiked cider on the front porch

mouth I an orange crush

the blop of rain on my tongue it smells carolers

the grape smell of cider is a carbon copy

I remember Denny’s was heavy with milk

unpredictable glitter snoring or making out

the playground sentences the river bottom you pick up to tell you through hiccups the pineapples’ diaries

the cars might smile who wanted me

I can’t blame you for all this love lettering the footbridge grinding

too shy apples embarrass river’s glossy topcoat

candy dances at the apple cider birthday party

bubbles the unexpected spend

we ask one another when asked to fall in reflections

we let rot fight long and roiling script

a yellow grape with juices

Alaska swallows the grape’s diary

pretend the states are people especially Mississippi she is heartbroken

it’s difficult to avoid ogling you’re steeping in your skin

have we stolen the express lane maybe we want it

at first as a joke your orgasm in my teeth a wing

perforated a speaker my sex

your triggers know how an hour to take

a seven swigs the ungodly the I’m in a movie

where Sam swallows Mark I was interested a prop

fingers playing flirty flirty

red dwarves and strawberries collect in cages

that scar on your arm you got it from a French knife in love

the skin teeming screech spangled a professional green

want to share bracelets of light

tickle searched his clavicle

we could chocolate somebody the now

on the quad implied an intimacy

two fish reference our wet noses

the Pleiades not blue in their sockets

the promise the moon sold

my face they tasted was wet no it was blinked twice last year this time

light wrung against a pear

distance becomes a giant’s ellipse

I could steep then remember water on a beach

at least on the first date icicles accompany mosquitoes

your pretty please lips

dime store amphibians twitch when you are sleeping Mother

silver smiles a milk snake one life span long

mouths you can hide behind

you are lemon purring crowns

the seconds would conglomerate stealing the homemade alarm

your pocket going into your body
