ice cream cone

without words without art we 

would all fall asleep there 

can be no sunshine the ice 

cream falls off the cone

the entertainment

they filmed you in Croatia 

at a press conference outdoors

flapping your lips with 

your powerful friends 

red face big belly

then suddenly an earthquake 

put you ina spotlight

the unlikely entertainment

dancing like Elvis in 

1955

clueless

they can pinpoint a beetle
antennae drumming the earth
satellite imagery
immaculate coordinates
from space they alter the ecosystem
in cells driving home clueless
in mercedes they cannot locate
themselves in the body the breath
why cannot they see
with eyes?

#katyamills

samsara

why try and escape

the life anymore? be a drop of water

inside this rainy day and

cycle through the 

system

#katyamills

flaw.less

my head tells me lies

warping me again. stillness. the house settles

through its cracks

nothing is flawless not a diamond

eyes cannot see

no careful patchwork coat of paint

spackle job can arrest

fractured we settle but i

never no i never no

i never

will

#katyamills

they was kind

they was quiet when i
expected noise and heat
my vertebrae rolled in with laundry
screwed down by the
street spine up like train tracks
over the sierras. i thanked god
they was kind. only heat the machine
my life dry spun the rain
came down in sheets

one twenties

under the lights

the supermodel shows well

then backstage draggin on 

Slims 120s 

lambasts the makeup girl 

for missing her

mole. you can conceal 

yourself and airbrush awhile

the spirit likes to watch

you exhale. it all goes up

in smoke
