never say goodbye.

              burning rose petals into candle wax
13 year old girls become 36 year old women
                love continues to take on new forms
i'm drinking out that cup you gave me
you now have cheekbones of an angel
i can still hear how sharp
and high you sounded
never high a day in your life
but for next to me.

you kind girls!

I like a low-stakes love
like how you lead me on 
by a split hair
one-hit-wonder timeline
balanced on the edge
of imaginary nostalgia 
(I fill in the blank with what I want)
and the littlest crumbs
you sprinkle as 
you walk
I will obsess
Untill .....?

under blond baby bunny's favorite hosta plant

i slip my hand under 
blond baby bunny's
favorite hosta plant
from which he runs
as i approach
i want to know 
what secrets it holds like
if he were a person
would his bedroom 
have posters?
if he had a daughter
and named her after a flower
which flower would it be?
daisy or iris?
if he wasn't so scared
could we be friends?
blond baby bunny and i
this my favorite hosta plant too.

one 16-year-old oversized notorious b.i.g. long tee when I asked for snoop dogg (or at least west coast rapper)



Funny this shirt should give up
through an armpit hole reaching 
                                        my hip
        a week after you marry
    this shirt you gifted me
            a birthday gift
        I wore and we drank
said it was a party for my birthday
    but we partied almost everyday.

I'm not sad you've married
        -I've done it twice and 
    twice as eccentric, each time
so I know what it's about.
But the girl I tried to be for you,
    inside me, she rots
like a popular sitcom character
        played by a child actor
        but decades down the line
when the familiarity no longer
            hides the stunted pang
    leaves a hunger in the gut
    my biome gets fucked
   i am fucked (you didn't like)
but more likely you didn't like me,
a jersey waded up in mildew
                    pile on the floor
Spray me down with Axe, then
       Old Spice, those ads really got to 
you, the boy you tried to be for me
     inside you, he rots too.

This shirt is cloth strips
       won't last a wash
    put it in the compost
        with leaves and menstrual blood,
            egg shells and food scraps.
In weeks it will be be rich and black
        and feed my garden veggies
    I'll eat up these objects 'du toi'
        in salad and dinner sides

delight that everything stays something
        there is no nothing,
                     no gone,
just new forms, 
                        if you look hard
a birthday gift is sauteed and served
            with an evening meal
eaten with second husband.

while the shirt wasn't even what I asked for that birthday,
it is 100% cotton and compostable
    -ce qui me détruit me nourrit.

sonnet #3


In the spring when we caught foxes on film
I got so plump I rolled between fingers
and overseas they chopped off a boy's limb
while college kids became prisoners,

It's now I got so sick of acting grown.
-I always liked 'befores' more than 'afters'
runaway and burn everything I own
Just Kidding! Hang that thought from the rafters.

News talks with a hidden dog in the fight
While I can't help but plan to lighten my hair 
everyone else thinks they know what is right
I'm the fat child, this I am aware.

Excuse me while I cry my cartoon tears
like there aren't real kids living real war fears.

alpha beta

as always ashen angel ace
booming buxom brandy bows,
cryptic cagey cunning cats,
a deeper dozen double date
in an eerie empty eagle echo
fairer framing frantic foe
gifts golden goddess grimace gone
how happy, handsome home
is icky and icy imps
jumping jaded jagged June Jeeps
kept kind kite kitten kin
loving leaping little lizard lungs
minimal minion motion moving
near not now, nipple and navel
of open olive oil ocean once
patient person purpose poised
quite a quitting query queue
runs red rat's roses, remote rain
she strangely says "Same, sister." 
times truly tame and tangential
unlike an ugly uncle upside-down
very vacant vault vent vibe
while whales wince water 
XXX
yet young yellow yarrow yokes
zero zip and zest zones.
