Literature Text
In my rested palms
and your shoulder-neck's hollow,
in these expanses
did we find koi no yokan
in a rose gold reverie
By your hair's wafture
my nightmares are drowned, consumed
By your lilt breathing
you whisper birdsong, perfumed
Cloud my mind; I'm enraptured
Was I before you
caught in the eye of a storm?
Ah, natsukashii!
Gazing at a rose gold dawn,
Lips embraced, we trace a dream
Literature
Carcinogens
My hands smell
like antiseptic solution
and cancer, because
the peroxide won’t
cleanse your cigarette
ashes from my nails,
and the cremation
jar is still smoking.
Literature
unarticulated
tonight I ask myself:
where are you going with all these names
in your pockets? syllables that taste
unauthentic in the desperate American
mouth.
repression is a series of images
golden streetlights
blinking
pedantically
earthbound angels breathing
flame, starving hands speaking
in tongues, glazed eyes
asking are you fucking okay
pale skin becoming moonlight,
reflecting and refracting and
the quiet understatement
of listless
lips.
mutual poison.
Literature
softened
the sky whispers,
ribbons of crystalline quiet,
same shade as the angel dust
you shivered every time we were
alone.
in the darkness, we were
sorry birds searching for
open dawns. you, the
swan, me, the
raven,
black as night and
just as hopeful.
and there were poems
written in your skin, universes
blooming in your hands; your eyes
were a December sunrise saving me
from any sleep.
I’ve decided that
people are a composition of
all their greatest memories—and you,
you were always the most
beautiful piece of
me.
