Poem 46
1.
Undue gratification /
mixed hesitation or
heresy
2.
the sound of socks
creeping down the stairs and none
3.
who owns a memory
who steals a memory
?
4.
Does the backyard
double as carpet
against the navy ass sky
5.
(nevermind)
untruth
6.
What joyous feast! O longevity!
O sweet naughtiness —
Baby begins
7.
drunken shopping list:
1/2 beef and lots of carrots
LOTS
of carrots
8.
unanswered calls and
voicemails
voicemails
voiced males —
9.
static
burning exhaled
gold
10.
will bubbles float past the
hair on your back or does
the autumn kiss your nape
11.
unfazed
always steady
forces of steeds
IMPRINTED
12.
coat your pale body
in sun slit black
13.
; or, yet, sow not
till the rocks ’til the morning sun
sews the day
14.
And forgotten now —
shards of beer bottles
brown in packaging
bleak in comparison
scattered
safe
15.
fine mushrooms
shredded
and bled on
16.
