:

under your cheekbone

the mole drinks in blackness

from night’s caress

:

:

sunrise –

through blue parting blouse

your breast peeping

:

:

pebble splash –

all i hurl

sinks

:

:

the shovel upright –

putting my dog

in the hole

:

:

i flop onto

her dress on the bed

it is receptive

:

:

a minuscule bug

here /

kept that line short

:

:

this stupid war

feeling murderous hate

picking peaches

stars

whorling

drainwater

:

retained from childhood

nothing much of importance

two horse-chestnuts

:

driving into

the purple mountains

till they brown

:

hearing a car

that never comes

high pine wind

:

roar of wind

her measured breathing

in the lulls

:

burning incense at dusk

a blue haze

on the pines

:

something foul

in the smell of smoke

last year’s leaves

:

a love letter to the butterfly gods with strategic misspellings

:

:

avoiding definitions we stroke the tender leaves of the maple

:

:

later you realize it was actually a part of your own body

:

:

where the lines end and the absence begins an architecture or so

:

:

parked ahead of us someone watches the air a syrup

:

:

the rain drips quickly on the white pavement lowfatdeathcamp

:

:

Anorexia plus Silicon

June gets a bruise

then it starts to rain

:

:

twilight those children shout the names of their dogs Freeway and Tequila

:

:

spiders settling in where my habits where away the edges

:

:

I meet the twin she

never mentioned the mist

lit briefly by the sun

:

:

which part of me gets which part of you suddenly it’s spring

:

:

dusk turns gray and

hazy and breaks off into

several angry girls

:

:

leaf shadows on

the ground sway from

the secrets of war

:

:

all the sticks

sharpened differently the moon

has stained your gloves

:

:

she’s reaching for the red

chicken something passes

in front of the sun

:

:

when the rain stops

you find me in the apple

packing my bags

:

:

things I did with my hand show up as dead skin
