EL




the flavour of something
winter
toned down
the riveted struts of the bridge
passing us by
army tank brown
dusted by snow
not knowing exactly what to say
caffeinating
EL
mountain daylight
savings time
trading thoughts
EL
swirls in the black enamel paint
not knowing what to do
with our hands
you waggle the stickshift
EL
on something
without being much
a diversion
could have looked at the stars
pondered them in their fullness
over weed
or Barolo
thought instead about the straps
of your shoes
you thought about something
what, i'm not that sure
EL
clutching
whether i’m there or not
discs slipping past eachother
when you put your foot down
things move forward
EL
dancing on the one
not knowing
not caring
to wander
too too far
EL
going across the river

On farewells




come here you idiot
we kissed
i drank it for a six month period
six months
where i'll be in bed
pillow against the neck
doing my best to remember
fingers down your back
muscles contracting in scales
up and down
you'll be ziplining
onto platforms
i'll be here
learning the breaking points
structure of zig zags

on our last night
didn't even want anything
just to be close
we both knew this was a
skin thing
a while ago
and it was
and it wasn't
playing at love
the feeling of it
fingertips
searching for it
seeing you
me for the first time
bellies full
blasted on wine
intermezzo
what it was
clean sheets

cooking hot
on a wednesday evening
that effortless sensation
not exactly wanting to
sum things up
but to put
punctuation
in here somewhere
something meaningful
spacing the feelings
in phrases
a gesture
touching your chest
a combination of clothing
unlikely but for this
kept our clothes on
longer than usual

played you my girlfriend
played me i was there some
times

you still up?



instead of candle light
or no light
instead you get my spoken cliches
you smiled the corners of your mouth pulled down


things in reach of arms
our arms, i'm your sour
comfort
not quite right
let's be straight
told you i'm dead inside
took it back
thinking about
quietly some shit

let's go to bed?
yeah.

when you go
you'll kiss your parents
at the airport
hug your sister
flying
i'll be here, where we were
finding silky & flowing red hairs
rubbing my neck
for some time
