I left the wig on when we f**ked
We’d gotten the diagnoses
that we have terminal
cancer of the relationship.
we tried chemo
and rebounds
and screaming at each other
until our lungs ran out of air
and sorrow carved
in our face like glacier canyons
You could never love me
even with the lights off
too afraid, I guess,
of what that looks like
maybe my mercurial touch
across those empty spaces
in your chest are like a slime mold
or a toxin,
or a cluster of tender-feelings herpes,
infecting you with...
that we have terminal
cancer of the relationship.

Romance and your bouncing boner
So I wanted to be a fucking
faerie princess and make out
in a damn daisy field
maybe frolic a bit
and get a little handsy
maybe get a little more
And I am a fucking vision
in a gauzy spring gown
and not much else
halo headband over my
shampoo-commercial perfect hair
as I sit in this field
surrounded by the
flowers and
the goddamn nature and
your naked ass
I struggle
because you swore if
I made you do this
you’d do it naked
and you...

Amnesia and the taste of pleather
My love notes on your shirt
grew as sticky
as the air
in my wasted lungs
and the feel of your
forehead against mine
scared the shit out of me. again.
angered me. again.
fucked me up in what I
can only brand as the
flavor of
us;
and our version of love
is poison in a diet-coke can
served ice-fucking cold
again.
your warm mouth traced

but can you l*ve me in the dark
I couldn’t pay the light bill
when you left
so I stand in the dark
like a wraith
waiting for a taste
of an unwilling soul
and you came in
using your cell-phone flashlight
like you were in a rock concert,
or hunting for buried treasure,
or seeking initials carved into
a dusty mantle.
my pupils split as you
brought harsh light
into a world
only lit by missed dreams
small plinks of blood
puddled against my
shoeless feet,
my fingers
splintered cacti ...

the stars I was born under were f**king c**ts
I was born without luck.
I had to shove a rabbit’s foot
up my ass and tape
four-leaf clovers to my nipples
just to get through the day
without disaster.
But the tape always wore out
and the rabbit’s foot gave
me crack-rot
so I made my own luck
by working circles
around anyone near me
and cutting a few well-placed throats.
Something stilled
when we stood in a steam-fillwd
shower, my forehead pressed
against your aching back
until I swore my skin
could taste your thoughts

I’ll meet you there
my tears burn
your mangled
thumb as you
gently cup
my cheeck this
last time
last
time
our foreheads pressed,
eyes closed
whispering
I’m sorry
like a mantra from
both mouths
my hands are fists
in your shirt
deformed to the
taste of holding on
to something
we let die
a few times back
and I’m sorry
this time
because I want to
fold in your arms
like a...
