it has all been about
the unsaid sayings
like how the cat is shitting poetry
how a dry hand trails the tail
or how you are meowing another’s name
how no one listens to
the last words of a sunset when a war roars on
how an opiate holds onto the scraps of a bed among
glass and cement
how the reflection of a lion is an enemy
how there are no presidents who are truly woman
how we are all too manly
how admitting this is manly enough to make us all
part of that whole woman again
how things in three don’t always read better
how reading things over twice is required when they are worse
how it was the first massacred mistake like a fart
or unlike it
the constipation of years whispering the questions
does a hung phone echo a name
does a phone around a neck
have a name
is wireless a solution when the wires above
are too in and en and un titled
how i am a romantic in due time
usually when you leave
how there is a flat line where the living have a little life yet
how smoking shortens expectancy with the fires of invention
how invention necessitates smoking
how the trees still grow in lungs lost in the fires
from whenever it was the city burnt down
how you drip dancing
how the walls sway with you
how we swing with saturn
and that original big little beat here
how you could’ve gotten away with it
if it wasn’t for me
how you almost did
if it wasn’t for me
how it wasn’t me
how you looked at me in what i did not know
was the last time
an orphaned geese looking for the horizon
to find their way back to the warmth of home
how you didn’t look at me one more time
which was such a you thing to do
how i did not either
how it wasn’t about anything
really
just a morning in june jumping on a sunbeam
with a strong coffee and a kiss
where a small voice commands the future into submission
of where do you want to go
dear
where can we go
where can’t we
