greedy teeth
her trapp-ed-ness : her happiness
his puncture marks & their bittersweet ooze
to hold her; to let her
in her last moments

playing my emphases like harp strings
your voice smokes thru the oaken bramble
pour a carbonated apology, a sun-stained
mile marked envelope, two ill-fitted birds,
hands small holes right before a rush of river
what it feels like being swallowed from the outside
crushing rings into truth serum, pretend
to be out of tune with that deception
I have been unable to parse my own persona
a pink cotton voice I remember thru the phone
I remember because it formed me into a granary
one crop after another of patriarchal idioms
whisper my secrets so softly into a glint of red hair
a saucer-eyed lace pattern cut into pine paper

Forging Foundations
there is part of me that knows these walls
in the same ways I know
unrequited was the dream I used to tie my strings to,
unrequited was the hope I used to fill myself up,

You stand just where I stood
With a question on your hand
Just trying to figure out
No... Don't try...
It won't do you any good
When you finally understand
What these things are all about
Smoke in factories
Mirrors in the mall
Just like batteries
That's us all

Smoke we're burning
Mirrors of light

This one has the good kind of hurt in it. It's a shame it never lasts.
I think you said it all perfectly.
