Dew-drop

In a dew-drop, a little world exists 

A place turned blue and silver by the light 

That lingers well beyond the morning mist. 

In a dew-drop, a little world exists 

But melts into the grass long before night. 

In the same meadow where once you were kissed 

In a dew-drop, a little world exists 

A place turned blue and silver by the light.

    we sat and imagined fireflies

    flitting between the tops of the RVs

    as the sun disappeared into muggy,

    illicit sludge. we realized we both liked

     the sticky-sweet taste of summer

    you're not

    leaving yet. no,

    i'll glue your limbs to the pavement,

    lower your waving hand,

    tell you

    something to make your eyes crinkle

    again.

    again,

    again,

    again.

  • Curl Cream

    I have been told

    To put curl cream in my hair

    Upside down, eyes 

    Straining against the ceiling light,

    Curls straining toward the tile floor,

    Bunching.

    I will smell
