blow faux kiss
to flatter

tattered toy talking
without moving
mouth,

moth wing pinned
to pillow
not

casualty of dust
storm
not

without its
charm..

toadstool from
his torpor,

spare me the
stupor

of logic and
order

spoil madness with
meaning.

prescription
scribbled on my hand..

bland sunday
head buried in someone’s story,

asked for
the housekeys back,

drove to hear music move
like my body’s
steam,

night whistles through
the cracks we
dream.

chalk-eyed
ether-

sticky sands
expanding under..

forever layers
deeper..

heart heavy
panting
fever-

slightly shucked
shellfish in
shivers-

surface regrets..
reconsidered

upon ocean of
melting
bed

wax
liquid

oblivion again.
