revolution in evolution

the following are thoughts holding tight. they loosen when i crack my fingers here, but it is all just bone wearing, wearing, worn.

*

atoms meet meat

asking one another

what they would’ve wanted

to be if they could’ve been

something other than atoms

they say nothing

*

there was a bombing

and i don’t have the words

i don’t think

there should be the words

*

be careful

you might just fall in love

with me tonight

and i might just

do the same because

you lack care for everything

except for me

*

my reptilian mind

has me licking

and looking for something

more than love

like a snake salivating

on its own tail

or two tangled in each other

head to feet

feet to head

both feeling fuller at

the edge of a circle where

they can see what others

missed at the centre

for example

one another
