Your ears believed it never mattered
that my words
became less
everywhere
we travelled,
how my throat
began to swell
into autumn
leaves
sailing slow
down every
park river
we walked
how lungs—
yearned to
drown down
by the water.

It will never end
When you speak
about the warmth
in the middle of
your palms
you will feel how
my piano fingers
tucked slowly
into you,
when you watch
somebody else
climb out of
the shower
with raindrops
dripping down
from their hair
you will recall
how your lips
have waited
to kiss
every drop
off my skin.

Flare
I slowly watch
your hair getting
grey by the day
eyes exploding
into supernovas
everytime an
outburst arrives
almost like
it's on queue—
do you ever feel
exhausted being
wrapped up in
your own kind
of sabotage
are you enjoying
this dark matter
under the guise
of something else,
do you prefer
how size six feet
keep walking on
crushed glass?
must be tiring
not bringing
yourself into
the light
...

We all know god is spelt dog backwards
but at least the creature standing on four legs
can read how an owner is feeling
if life takes a dangerous turn.

Subspace
offering her bloom ready
in my palms,
breathing in hesitation
spider lashes
flickering
on every petal
plucked,
slowly waiting
for my mouth
to reach
her blushing
bud.
