getting in betwixt me
and my calvins
watching the sprinklers spray the sculpture
in the sculpture garden 
excited us
like the the graceful erection of a construction crane
like the relief
from releasing the kink in the green garden hose
like the gentle hum 
and the warm inky smell of a photocopier 
like the calm in my diaphragm on a turbulent flight 
blood sloshing around my stomach in the clouds
your blood dripping down upon petalled paper
so as I unglue myself from this floor
I'll remember you radiant 
grinding on my chin 
the sand exploding from your pubic hairs
my summer beard shining in the mud 
our hearts beating slow under the weight 






i tired of trying 
to untie the entire entirety
entirely
tirelessly
but these bitches are trying me
and I am tangley
hard candidly
heavy handedly
over handled
yankee candled
and i couldnt grasp
and i couldnt clasp
your selective memory lapse
cuz like the kitten feasting on the crow
the stress rash 
and the hormonal glow
these hands are small i know
but theyre notch urs
dey are my own

all ive ever never wanted was dis
a salty tongue pon peppered lips
your woobie nyny pinched with vice grips
speaker moaning a forced lisp
a poland spring bottle half filled with piss

thick bodied thin skinned
bare ankled raw shinned
franzia funneled
swaddled n pummeled
pups lapping at the puddles

soft shelled chef coated
a head of chestnut, dimpled and doted
you, belly down, boxed wined n dined
a gentle nibble pon d salty rind
cocker spanieled
socked and sandeled
a place for every feathery crystally granule



oh my baby, 
my babeliest boy,
 that shaggy headed 
angel. shrouded in joy,
just got the two sweetest of daughters
he cools their milks
 he warms their waters
and im too scared to meet them
if my cough startles them while they're sleeping
if my finger is incorrect and their vertabrae weaken

my most devoted 
of down ass girls,
the one with the blonde banana curls
moved so far away 
so she could have porch
and a fucking front yard 
 a tree to perch
and im too scared to pick up the phone
 i'll blame it on the kidney stone
a brunch date a bogus loan

im trying to keep dry, weather permitting
a forecast of torrential spitting
hiding at my sister's condo dog sitting
upon my pillow of mold
mild withdrall or chronic head cold
trails of popcorn
tears of fools gold
 


killer,
 killer you're killing me
a gentle funneling
wallowing willingly
but really only if you're down
my paw creeping up your gown
hairless and round
nestled in my nostril
a dried fetal fossil
clogging up the nozzle
faux leathered and laced
the baby suckling the paste
flecks of pollen, buds of taste
swallowing my instincts
macaroni n fishsticks
cocaine n chick flix
an itching, a hair lip
or is it a cleft?
second finger on the left
a tanned swollen hand
wuz that thin band
golden n grand 
lost in the sand
still i searched all over the grocer
every aisle, goya to kosher
until i completely shattered my composure



i luv my dead ghey life
the chief of grief
sultan of strife
pope of mope
wet willyed, earloped
quilted in guilt
to wallow or let wilt
blowing everything we've built
i tainted my nape
scattered ashes on the cape
baby blankets drooled n draped
smoked and cured
baited and lured
i'll never be assured
that our future will be realized
slumped, still, trying to metabolize
just gunna move into the movie theatre
gummy seats, a bottom feeder
with baby girl tied up on the parking meter

excuse me but your poinsettias are pouting
ferns are flopping, chia's stopped sprouting
a wilderness boy goes girl scouting
a wet tongue, a dampened stamp
svedka slugs and lava lamps
was that i love it or i love you
ill just act like i dont owe you
pin it on seed you sow you
a slanted, crooked bedframe 
a branding, a pen name
a sunken mattress
third eye sunglasses
a tisket
 a tasket
stickers on my open casket
a plaything 
a chew toy
kahlo to tolstoy
fresh thoughts 
just try n enjoy



my favorite color identity questioned
a raw raw rainbow affectionately mentioned
red for the mistress
green for the main bitch
that baby pink shit was just a guise
decided to get bris-ed instead of baptized 
overcompensating the importance of size
but i know it deep in my bones
ima live this life all alone
it will always be a royal blue
jadore j'taime adieu adieu 
nothing will ever be this true this true this true 
cumming down the stairs on dat
Quil Gin Xany stew
teething tonguing but just cant chew


swampy swampy swamp
swamp swamp swamp,
looking for a ham to hock 
a pork to chop
a cutlet to gawk.
I've always wanted to live right above you
perched, hovered above a swampy view
with a cold chick to lay
cranky and played
swaddled still, blankets frayed.
the gods had awarded us our celestial prize
and we'd drink in those meaty skies
brawnier and more unctuous 
thicker and more rambunctious
than those lighthearted Californian clouds
florescent grey with canary shrouds
cascading upon our swampy's crowds
 that goosey gaggle a froggy family
a lone bitch swan, murking surly
the heron stalking us demurely. 
swampy swampy swamp
swamp swamp swamp
take us back to that primordial haunt
a bouquet of blue carnations for you to flaunt
a raving, brazen, idiot savant


hawked gawked and chicken pocked
i set my alarm for the equinox
4:43 but it was still an awful surprise
a mountain of pills pooled between my thighs
with a smooth totem thumbed within my pocket
i finger fucked the electrical socket
the toddler in the front seat just glared at me and locked it
and i know i could survive, alone, on onions and gatorade
so when mercury saunters out of retrograde
and everything has been primped and prayed,
bludgeoned and braised
i'll remain pregnant with fury
hard candied and curried 
daddy said that to be worried
is a wasted emotion
so after the funeral we simply applied the lotion
and i swallowed my thoughts of bursting devotion
with rose in your quartz
bermuda in your shorts
and memories to abort
ill take you shopping at FAO schwarz

lying on the upside
hungover joyride
drooling on the cowhide
babys wounded flesh
swaddled in mesh
a bad boi in the creche
but thankfully throughout the chatter
it came to me on a golden platter
a filet protruding from the batter
that nothing matters



poodles in the clouds
clouds made of poodles
that caterpillar who tickled my thigh
and made a cocoon on your skirt
was that orange monarch
who got caught in the windshield wipers
and mended itself on my palm
to flutter back up into the cypress tree
i held my breath, fetal, on the cove
made of true crystal
thumbing a cactus
after i left you and
your belly of milk
your kiwi vines
your ink blots
for a pile of preciousness
pockets full 
of chipped jade
wild fennel
dried prickly pear
airbrushed puka shells
gessoed mushrooms
a moldy house
a stress rash
a sports bra
Man, I swear, I'd give the whole thing up for you.
