Thank You (to Elise).
I hear the rattling, the ticking, and my Grandfather’s tinnitus (perhaps not), All the unheard aspects now, so therefore make a wish, Just one, and only one. For the evening had already set, As I waited for you—(and I near turned) all the timbre from your state, I sat down, Drank a cup of water, and I fluttered all over to make that very call. That tone, the sight of perception, not dozing on Winter’s fracture, That slung branch gone and lost, dying in a day

see you, see me.
I see you I hoard your threaded- mulling-overs; playing me into junction, screaming, sighing screaming, sighing
My Eve.
you wound me A lotus dress with lace of red.
Memories, Never Mine.
I’m pissed at God, but tell me who has not been, and because I dream, my skull surfs in torrents
Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss (after the sculpture in France).
psyche-reaped and kissed into a lushed womb where coiling into my lap, she lay
Have you?
Have you ever written a poem that was just... WAY too personal for anyone else to read?
don’t leave in limbo (Draft).
variegated in singes; touches of her neck and wrist, contused in no promises, only the sprawl of remembrance gets darker
Letting Eve in (Draft).
My hero turned out to be a monster, it sinks further in my chest; frail leaves and empty words spill—spill
Melpomene (Draft).
her lune, how precise and anticlastic as if each horror you provoked could somehow make me want you
