found a baby squirrel
he'd fallen from the oak tree
I picked him up and his lungs were in my hands
life is just a series of near misses
drove a car for 3 three hours to see you
next thing I knew I was upside down
on the wrong side of the interstate
life is just a series of near misses

passing through days on fumes
time is measured in stories consumed
by a languid body
there's a safety in apathy
creature comfort
chosen to swallow, dissolve any resolve
in a mired mind

Faim Dévorante

watched a spider crawl down your arm
while you fixed your sharp eye on me
everything you have you took from someone else
but you say you still feel empty
don’t look at me
when you’re thirsty
don’t look at me
when you’re hungry

Hubris

crack a smile kid
for times are changing
and all you’ve known
is dust on your palms
desperate compulsions to deny survival
kept tight the blue cloth
that bound you to the kitchen chair
and oh, you’ve had a long day
can’t bear to mull all this over
you’d rather wait, wait for the right time
a time in a place where everything lines up
just right
crack a smile kid
for times are changing
and all you’ve clung to
is pain veiled as discipline
and oh, you’ve had a long day
can’t bear to mull all this over
and yet, there’s a relief here
delving deeper into this discomfort

Two Heads

dreamt you had no hands
and I was the only one who noticed
stubby reminders of the possibility of loss and loving
it’s the fear of the feeling I don’t know
tonight the two headed calf is alive in the grass
but she’s dead on display housed behind glass tomorrow
the uncertainty of living
and the certainty of dying
the uncertainty of loving
and the certainty of losing
so we’re moving our legs for as long as they’ll move
planting seeds not knowing if there’s a future where we can grow fruit
touching each other however we can
touching however we can
breathing, breaking

Pining
05:42

felt the sun on my shoulders
didn’t mind it was in my eyes
we sat in the tall grass
and knew we were alive
you drank from the water
clear green and blue
you drank til you were full
and I did too
now this long-fingered winter
has me pining for the sun
the weather’s always got me under its thumb
buried my cherry pits in the sand
with toes too hot to touch
honey dripped from our mouths
to sweeten the sea moving between us
now this long-fingered winter
has me pining for the sun
the weather’s always got me under its thumb
she’s always got me under her thumb

Swidden

we bought a house full of spiders
and un-emptied boxes
and unspoken words
in this life there’s always unknowns
but our learned behaviors
were dragging us down
i thought that we’d die together
bound by our labor
our record of love
but we already died
