all flesh and blood
sand dunes the corners of your eyes
draped in a silver lining
come march when winter dries

they wondered why you wore that hat
the holes: a lack
a loss untracked

come march when winter dries
came march when winter dried

all blood and guts
the ball of guilt
stacked cornered in your eye
drooped with shredded linen
the collective heavy sigh

they wondered when you’d leave your den  
that broken pact
you pushed it back

the collective breathy sigh
the collected breathy sigh

they wondered why you tore your limbs
from sweaters made of sacks
a clapped-in guilt
the worn in quilt
a loss we left untracked

the rundown hues
dismembered blues
and that damned unsilvered sky
damned unsilvered sky

Winter Dries

gorgon girl
a mineral prize
her lids heavy boulders
a last hoorah

twice your weight
the texture of rain
tumble 
tumble
we all fall down

you push the rock
up the mountain
toes like twigs
they snap

fingernails 
they grind the rhythm
the threat of a slip
a last hoorah

you push the rock
up the mountain
chant white lies
to stone

twice your age
the texture of rain
tumble
tumble
we all fall down

The Mountain

and the affection spreads
to the dip of your belly
loops around a ring newly rung
it flourishes and migrates
to tongue the pleasure spot
you study the sound
the scraping of nails
the pink around the arch

don’t hold back
the wine
the spill
arched
a blushing stain

don’t relax
undo
the harness
the hips
the hands
caught
within fevered dreams
within the fevered dream

and you explain it as this
a consciousness for otherness
for other things inexperienced
a midday fever dream spent
tossing diamonds around your tongue

bum a drag
the cherry tip
the embers
raining bits

tangle up
and tear into the sheets
tangled up
to tear into the sheets

crescendo
a clap
a swell
buried in
the heap

tangle up
and tear it into sheets
tangled up
to tear into the sheets

track 6. 3-1

Teenager

chapped
clapped
lips to make love to a model
haute
like you’re taught
you’re taught 
to be wrought
iron fenced in rib bones crack 
to fit a garment

twins
like the way our eyelashes fall
on asymmetrical cheekbones
jutting awkward
‘cause we’re gaunt.

twins
the way we both snap gum 
firecracker colors drip 
cinnamint
drip cinnamon
I can fit a one
where you can fit a zero

pinkies entwined to make promise
to make knees round harder
hip bones like hip bowls hallowed out
for sipping, for water-based picking
and tape wrapped twice around a torso
I can fit a one
where you fit a double zero

we learned to do math in day school
learned to divide the dividends
to recreate infinity
and cut the curves 
from a square.
