pair















you're a tall drink
a stiff drink
when you're on the table
things get hazy.
all i need is a drop
for liquids to de-emulsify
tendrils spin out of solution
for
memories to recombine
particles of you
reconstitute themselves
implausible valences
harden into welded joints
crystal symmetries appear


years go by

think i need to pair you with a cigarette
smoke would rush
sharp in the lungs
to fill the gaps.

ocean meet me



SUNSET
we're part of this cadre
it's like, fuck off,
but we'll get in your face &
we cleave
this completed system
we'll make demands,
we'll make diamonds:
fret the right chords
when you play
your songs
you can say
“MOTHERFUCKER”
even to your sis
and it's a naive whatever
shuffling curls
into the sand
words, knowingly
seafoam it hugs feet
recessing
you're gorgeous
know that
just in that
the sort of thing
you'd know
by now
but
Fret!
Fret!
just that
it's enough
pull off
your ring finger
from the low E
sine waves
wreck the shore!
