Observations in Treasure
the duality of
your braincase
and coalescence,
the thirty-two
ground floor owls,
the ultra instinct mothering
of little queen,
your soul tattered,
yet hopeful, resolute, and wise,
your smile
and your eyes like sunshine
illuminating a forest
too grandiose to map,
your nerdy lanyard,
perfect smile,
A1 chamber sessions,
and the way you
show affection in your sleep,
the sideways glance you
take to...

comparable to your dimple twinkle pt 1.
like rain that falls
and saves
a bed of wilting flowers,
the way a pebble
sinks and makes
the cup flow over,
or the wick that
crowns a candle
for hours at a time,
the energy with which
spacemen
triumph over gravity,
and the sun peeking
over the earth
at the brink of dawn,
magic of a shooting star,
how a drum is more than wood
and the sea is more than...

drained? no. fuck that.
take every last electron,
you sweet space case -
till you're supercharged,
till orisa's looking dull by comparison.
all of me for all of you
is how it's always been.

vanilla rum
candlelit
silhouettes
dancing on the walls,
supple
buttercream
skin contorting into
sunny hills,
waves of amber washing
over ivory,
x and bot in reverie,
she calls herself an oracle,
mother russia's hulking neurons,
a solitary dimple,
her mouth corners, the upward
curvature...
like kryptonite, she binds me.
*
perisher,
lost in gaian eyes,
that's a coda i can get behind,
and spotify?!
makes me eat my words,
she stirs...

mercy dream
but tonight you're a literal angel,
complete with avian wings
and amber halo,
i walk up the stairs,
turn left, turn left again,
and you're sitting on the bed,
plucking feathers off your wings,
one-by-one, so i
know what's wrong,
you're feeling sunk, undeserving,
desolate,
don't even notice me
till i sit in the bed
and fiddle with the pieces,
i ask,
"why are you removing your feathers?"
you pause,
as if my every word were ...

and my heart stood still
...so i love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you."
-Paulo Coehlo
picturesque episodes,
a woman as pure as snow,
pretty like nebulae, a supernova
soft as water, her man on fire,
the rain thereafter, and devil's lettuce
to lift the world off atlas shoulders.
*
she's the sort of beautiful you
only read about in books
or see in movies,...

the mermaid on a scale
edge of the universe,
counting sheep
and painting birds
of paradise -
you're always on my mind,
goddess of the light,
your earthly delights filling
my lungs with ease--an odyssey
within your mind, an iliad
inside your eyes -
facial contortions, your moans
like honeydew, smores,
liquor or a kitten's roar, and the only
snore to soften
my mushy tick-tick-ticker -
a tiny sun to match
her mother's glow,
and canine friends
adding to the warmth,
days serene enough ...

fallen angel,
feathers plucked,
me with a hot glue gun,
picking up all the pieces,
lining them with gold, picking
up the slack of an angry dolt,
a scissorbill too blind, too dull
to see or feel the sun residing
in his palms.
what a time to be alive!
what a chance and it's mine!
and i promise you this:
my heart will crush entire mountains beneath its boots, and part the seas like moses, and pull the moon down from its mantle in...

deadman
o' deadman,
you reach out and graze
the grains, the black fruit
na na na dangling,
you're tired of floating through the walls
as a sickly breath,
blurred-out silhouette,
a dream
not dreamt,
o' deadman,
how are you feeling now?
you're everywhere
and nowhere at all
/
/
silence is screaming,
your voice
freezes
over,
...

phantasmagoria // prince tulip of darkwing
so i become a portrait of many organs,
a thousand roots and buckets
gathering all the water, nutrients,
no muddy flowers,
vascular,
wandering the streets at night,
sleepsick, lo-fi indie tides
and a forest white and porous,
i breathe into this and
it breathes into me.
*
black wolf
creeps behind the ribs,
above the guts,
and from its mouth crawls
another wolf,
and that wolf's fur births a flock of birds,
call it the feral loop,
throat raked by teeth...

infinite
and statues will crumble
in the name of
my love,
till the stars collapse,
and if i have died
a thousand deaths, for you
i'd surely die eight thousand more.

clockwork purple
i.
free bacon, egg, and cheese,
cute, smol watch like clay,
a gentle storm, fog-muddled,
irises like ferns, photosynthesis,
straight cheesin' for a cheese
enthusiast, circadian rhythm
reformed, recurring pattern, dusks
and dawns, you polish every moon
and sun, like gravity, magnetic fields,
sweet surrender,
you make the light
peek over
and wash my heart with warmth~
