beat.18

 found the belly 

of a lonely world i

found the heart inside

the belly of a cold

old world i

found the blood hot

rushing. all the girls were

gushing i 

found the beat it

was my 

own

stay.k

heavy

done with it all

lean back. fall

change the station

every 1 deserve

a stay.k.tion

#katyamills

mauritius

fate rolled up on paradise. petroleum 

residuals sliding through tropical 

depressions on the backs of shellfish 

and marine life coming up for air

cracked hull and skulls

a wisp of watery smoke

in its wake

#katyamills

floret

know me
know me not. for i am
but a single floret you
cannot see when aerial
looking down on me
in this parade of
roses. love me love
me not

queen

displays a fan of royal
flush. all the subjects
predicate

#katyamills

space.x.home

passage through incendiary heat
they screamed into atmosphere
deployed parachutes and swung into
a cool sea. no longer reflecting stars
they became one

#katyamills

street smarts before streets

i swept the floors then 

sat down to read
checked my phone 

got a glass of water 

did the dishes

body against land
land against water
the slightest change in pace
direction or 

composition

they were out there

always

looking for the weak one
side-eyed
running desperate 

within a herd

survival depended on
having street
smarts before

and after
streets
