green gold god damn

i dig up my brother's

bones, they're

tiled, tilted so

stirring i go, beer bubbles

whiten and rally

i lay among my brother's

bones,

pitch raked pitiful

petals i pour from my

face

surged seaweed, whiskey,

green gold god damn i

drank and dug him up.

youdreams

braids tied with rubber
bands between my fingers i
have your name
written, your scent burnt your
image a sound: stepped-hair.

i sing from stars to
shine i'm skinny without
youdreams, stewed in the
gnarl grey goodnight,
fluff for kindling, merged i
surrender and spread.

human

don't dare fold a

hidden heart, cracked swollen

each spice sliced from every

slight, my song is sung

low.

whoa where am i a

flash in my peripheral vision a spilt

mess in this kitchen on the

tiles a grin against the freezer a

showboat garbage can full of itself

full of bottle caps and spoilt meat, lettuce

where am i where the sound just can't

deafen i just can't stretch inside this

cork, this matchbox i just can't scrape out from

six seven fifteen under i

don't know where i am
