sleep time so long

locking goodnight between the
sour gaps of my lower rutted
wire

grains of sleeptight tail,
wag from between my
lips,

a sleep time.

so long!
a sapped sink, sweat
sweet dreams.

shaken skin

harmony round the
bronze walls, bubble
blimp fat curve

static wrapped snug round the
hair on your arms, warmth
catching clinging, sternum to
spine

hazel splash, round back
silk caught got you
sunk.

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
