space ship



i want to build a space ship
and fly out this window

cracker jacks



he ate a lot of cracker jacks
and cheerios

you know, happy food

but
he was

the grouchiest asshole

i have ever met

7 things

panties
black linen

swimming at night

liquor tracks

kissing
orange crush

dust

i did not know you



there was a time

i did not know you
but i thought
you could walk on water

i could see you
passing across the stream

i thought i loved you
but i did not know you

hovering above the water like that

with panther steady movements
slipping across time

and all wave-lengths

and now i do know you

and i love you

like there is a freight train
driving it

amber



amber

you are my hero

i am thinking of you

always

laughing

absorbed



i wish i could absorb color
like scent, give off the aura of blue
when i need to or

emanate red

i wish i could absorb the essence of you
or hold it in my mouth a while at least
like liquid i wish

i could spray parts of you onto
the parts of me that lack

like your bravery
at this moment

which must have been stolen
directly from a fairytale

because it is so beautiful

and audibly sincere

heart



some things are riddled inside the heart
twisted so tight they become part
of the muscle
