hairpin turn
A rap on the door and a lift to your hip.
Heels in your back and that uncontrollable laughβ¦
Pedaling Backwards on a 10 Speed
Blood red mother, hold me close.
Let my pain transfer to your hem.
Hold me.
Hold themβ¦
fruit sugar
I once yearned to be close to god.
Whispering prayers and fingering through violent pages.
Spirituality comes in phasesβ¦
when will the petals unfurl?
The stems have leaves chlorophylled to the seams.
Intoxicating shades of green.
Pile on more soil.
Fertilizer and neem oilβ¦
borderline
I think it was β96 or maybe β97.
Ripping down the hill on an ATV.
Salamander skin and bottle rocket shriekβ¦
molotov the memory
Drag my feet across the space of time.
Down the rungs of laddered rooms.
So many doors. Most are locked nowβ¦
βtears are words that need to be writtenβ
Or so he said
The god of my youth
Was a haughty friendβ¦
