openI tried saltwater rinsing, but your scent stillopen5 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
rims my nostrils like
the ghost of moments too blue to be
winnowed out of my being,
the sweet of your fanciful presence too
deep to be counteracted.
Caught a cold trying to nurse scraps of my sanity
zapping it altogether in the process.
Tried scraping impossibilities off my hopeful dreams
and like my fervent childhood attempts to scour
the big black birthmark from my right leg,
it left me exhausted and heavy
with a sense of defeat
and dull, damp lines
mocking poetry.
This disease gives me a reason to
press against itself, something to push for
And by this fall i will have forgot

For Bukowskii ran into you today, after school,For Bukowski5 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
after an hour of embarrassed laughter in my head
about a bra-strap coming undone.
after a tear for humanity, lost after a stream of
blood rising to my brain because im
unimportant after saying to myself that its ok to
hate old people,its ok to
sleep while they leave for
a surgery after having the low down blues after all
this
my surgery, you gave me back
my veins.
and i love you already like a girl loves
a man she's never smelt, just read and felt and
built in her mind for centuries after he was dead anyway, though
she's unaware. like an unlettered girl loves a man she steals po

i would have liked, you only within
the circumference of a thousand nautical miles
around the forbidden island that was love
or something like the insides of an alcoholic;
one can never tell if it exists.
remember the lines i had
borrowed from the hindi teacher, stretched them till they
were your essence
soaked in melancholy and made heavy?
they might haunt me tommorow

among strips of teen angst, bitter pills
and attempts
at feigning a laugh?
shown around to all who would

and fix it on your existence with large amounts of duct tape and cheese.it should be

the way your insides stick out a little from the neck of your shirt, mostly towards the

my feet are cleaner but dry, and i miss having them high up in the air.tomorrow's music is

and gummy bears up your backside. its like you're looking at
your joints multiply and the sum of all your flesh can fill
your ribcage with nothing more than a comatose butterfly.there's
stories about houses being told, wires being sold.the
plumbing needs to be fixed and there's a zebra in the living room.you
forget to speak because it is as if you've just puked and your
