faraway laughter. a tuft of melon orange tucked behind the eastern ear. but a memory. what other form will you provoke? an empty glass. a dusty vase. silence speaks of loss and longing well. the sky palimpsest. autumn must be near

a poem I wrote ...
onset schizophrenia
a ginger tail flashed
by the rocks and a voice called them
to play. innocently they wandered from neurotypical fields
we can only communicate with them by art
we are as distant to them
as they seem to us. conversation
is out

Darla she dropped out of school and moved to the coast. It's not a crime to want to be happy, she would say. She worked as a cemetery docent and got into crafts. Anything washed up on the shore was fair game. ya. that was how I met Darla.
Descend with one knee
it was the moment she had been waiting for
and her cheeks blushed
when he looked up
it was pain
it was horror
sweetheart?
yes my love ... yes?
I think ive torn my
meniscus
a dagger of geese ascends above the palpable memory of the dream I'm trying to rub out my eyes. a restaurant. I saw you. Freddy! you looked like you always had. alive! you gave me a colored string to remember by. i tie the baby's tooth around my neck.
1am. a confused looking indigent stands in the road.
I put on my hazards and get out to help.
they charge and knock me down
yelling - look into my eyes!
Okay. I will...
2am. I am standing in the road.
look. look into
my eyes!
a tailwind threw off the scent. the whole pack looked upon her with benevolence. she somehow outlasted the hunt and made it home. a dog's teeth had torn her ear. the marking rendered an aura of 'do not fuck with me' for years to come
it was her turn a boy made a hold and she stepped up above all the heads rocking out to Mannequin Pussy she fell back laughing and surfed toward the stage
mosswood in the moss pit. punk is more than music it's an attitude it's an expression. its a queer and disturbed and fierce family. its a lifestyle. grateful for everyone who brought us together and John Waters. and a big F-you to the system!
the river set out to conquer the land
in league with the summer rains
cresting the earthen walls
made to contain it
a young woman
head shaved
shed her ego on
the flooded
plains

on a planet
the color of rose
we immerse the rows
in liquid metal
so not to come
undone
in the cold heat
of absent
sun
not want for courage
i am spent from these dealings
the theme lingers
producing images and words
i hope to say or convey
useless i flop on the couch
in the pulsing light
it’s my something sweet
comes with painful
era
the forms spoke
with intent
at the pace of earths
rotation
the angle
a bellicosity lent
casting stark
shadows upon the moss
time
took the rose off
and left her
spent
nevertheless
malcontent
she made waves she made a lot of enemies speaking her mind she made waves and you don’t always make friends making waves … at least they know you are more than a pulse
athens georgia was chock full of misfits … she hit 3 coffeehouses in 6 hours and they threatened to call security simply because she was asking about a croissant after ten minutes waiting wtf?
graduates rolling on the grass making out
subdivision two. 3am
fears of perdition troubled the sleep. she turned pages letting the characters affection wash over her
she allowed herself a sugar cookie with oat milk
attended by the creatures of the night
