I'm wearing your fingerprints
and I know
I'll never be naked again.
and I know
I'll never be naked again.
Literature
chapped lips
a hodgepodge of stars and planets and burning meteors
and promises that escaped chapped lips
we were supernovas, exploding words, exploding skin
our glances across rooms would douse walls in chemicals
send cinderblock up in flames
i gave you candycane chapstick for christmas,
smooth lips didn’t put back together the promises
instead they decorated the black hole where i think all my love ended up
we danced on the rings of saturn
well you danced, poorly, and i drifted,
so slowly you didn’t notice at first
there's no oxygen in space,
my last breath wasted on licking my lips
or were they yours
there’s no oxygen in space
Literature
as numerous as the stars under your skin
and here I am, reinterpreting the definable universe
in relation to you, the poet, and the gravitation
of your hips (the parentheticals of your sighs, the longing
in your star-ward cries, the vespertine scent lingering
on your weary skin).
I would love every piece of you. I would stay up too long
and watch the night crumble away, to whisper together
the scraps of your misdirected sanity. I would call you perfect
when it wasn’t true, and become the answer
you spent an entire existence
suffering for.
You owe me this, sugartongue; the sweet silence
of your teeth. [this story is like a million others
rejected before it, glorifying ear

moremortem
you are not the first to wear
the same beckoning, calling skin
your fine edges annulling my roots,
and i don’t think you were the first to
Kill.
Kill what once was
a ticking pocket watch, an echo
heard only by one
now ticking for fallen ears.
It does hurt to see things die,
but there is a certain satisfaction
In having washed hands
