A Hug of People
We didn't know the guy
in the truck
who's that guy?
my sister asked,
and I wondered if city people
expected to know everyone
they saw around town.

I love
I love you.
I know that’s just meAnd you
And there are hundreds
Of millions
Of haters
Of hated.
But I love you.
But you’re my best friend.
I love you for phone calls -
ASHES AND BIRTHDAY CANDLES
your birthday was halo-lit nights and cigarettes in sugar cakes—
melted icing smeared over the tips of flames snuffed out in the dark.
you asked for a songbird, said your lungs were burnt with apocalypse dust

Scraps
Ask for help
They tell you,
But when you do,
They refuse to give it,
Be yourself
They chant,
But when you try,
You're told to hide away.

Bumblebee
Here's the key
To surviving the bumblebee:
First,
Never put that left index finger down on the C
When you see a D right after - it will slow you down
And the goal is
As fast as you can go
-
melting over glimpses of you
Wishing I could,
stuck with I can’t
because of nerves
that refuse to say goodbye.
Heart is obsessed,
mind is stressed,
with my heart
yelling at my mind,
and my mind
