dare me to inhale with lungs
swaddled in cotton candy
and
taste my tongue, pink,
so sticky sweet and
damp
on the trail
of your throat,
wet rainbows left
by the blushing slug
in my mouth -
kiss me with a death grip
on my windpipe
and
leave
ten gifts for me,
fresh blue-indigo oil slicks
puddling dark and deep
beneath my flesh.

Your Lips Dripped Ambrosia
Let me carry
the weight of
your heart
upon my shoulders
Gently rest
between the
crevices of
my clavicles &
I become Atlas

I've asked history's
greatest architects
for a copy of your
body's blueprints;
I've snuck into art
museums, chased
after geographers
&Venusian tailors;
alas, the roadmap
to your soul leads
to the most magnificent chateaux
to ever bless the heavens: a scene
unfit for my

your skin (carefully stitched
from the lushest clouds

a majestic patchwork

before the flood,
our house was a factory.
a man opens the door,
says the stuff's on the table,
and she smiles, a dark-eyed blonde,
tall, slim with cheekbones,
dents in the carpet,
wraps herself in a curtain
then says I'm famous,
flushed,aggravating the new skin
behind her earlobe,
walks into the bedroom,
sleeps through all her visuals,
scrapes a city together,
fluorescent geometry,
coins sewed into the eyes of faces.

she agrees with her legs,
but he leaves for court dates,

Foam Over
I know her secret:
she has no bile
or sweat or blood.
She's just cloth draped over
soft cloth, it is what
the edges of my hands remember,
recanting dreamily to each other.
I have made her dirty with affection.
We both are waiting for sunshine
to foam over the hills.
If you lay down in the park long enough,
someone will pick you up. Even without hope,
someone will pick you up. Even without hope,
someone will not let you lie there and burn.
