4/5/16

Go to the place no one told you to go

and start from there

.

Words are the paste that set souls

aflame

.

1/2/23

((Dreams))

.

In a lot of them I’m leaving.

.

Shedding my clothes as I run out

into parking lots under a bald moon.

.

3/8/16

what it was like to be the man who

complained

of a heart too big

for his hands

.

4/15/24

Magic is everywhere and therefore

ordinary

.

2/3/23

The sky snapped open

scattering stars like diamonds from a

cut necklace

.

4/6/16

It doesn't make her life any less

significant or her presence inside me

any less

.

4/7/19

You have stripped me bare of

everything but my name (and the

letters stick in my throat)

.

7/31/16

And I have thrown away mementos

I've had for but a year in favor of

aesthetic and space

Nearly choked on that feeling of

confinement and know

Free isn't a word but a state and I

keep moving.

.

11/26/18

sometimes when I drink

I can kiss would it would feel like to

love myself

.

9/16/24

Organ concerts at church in Blue Hill

‘I’m sorry if I failed you

I was just trying to be closer to

me’

.

10/22/24

The trees drop their leaves like

shrugging off a musty stole

.

7/12/21

the soul fills up with water;

the soul slips out to sea

.

6/27/25

((Christians))

.

They’ll introduce me

to a man who walks

on water and then

ask me not to

believe in magic

.

4/19/18

my breath like a pendulum the rain

Ticking against the windows

.

11/18/25

The way when you come back from a

long vacation. To your darkened room.

Everything is just how/where you left

it

.

6/5/25

Wonder how I can

wander around shot

full of holes and still

be astonished when

the light gets in
