doesnt need a title.


Somewhere beneath a skyscape of LA fires and ashes, I know people who are barely beginning to learn the angles and bones of each others bodies. And here... within pockets of floors and clocks that are untied to (otherwise) worldly acknowledgment, there are walls becoming surrendered.
I know that I am not a religious person. I cannot define God. I cannot define what It is, or how It manifests. But. I do know that there is something religiously deep-seated and moving when I can close my eyes at night and know that opening them in the morning wont change the images I see, or the things I feel when I am most vulnerable and falling deep (very deep) into mores of reckless adoration and harmony… because this feels like the best and worst kind of drug. I know.

I know what surprises me within a kiss. I know what God isn’t. I know that people wake up every morning. And that Love is a word like God.

buzzed.


Twice a word
beside open sores
In a garden made
of sand
Twilling farce
and dissembling marks
between eyes
lies a truth
And devotion is
a sin.
short ounces of seemingly

fake

terms



I want to lay my head
down onto a pillow

and wake up
mint.

im playing with my ring right now.
its funny,
in a melancholic and
erotic
sort of way
how close i feel to you
when the ring is inside my mouth.

i could swallow it,
and swallow you whole.

your love
your smile
your eyes

God,
it would pass so close
to my heart.

once

born
into the arms
of a forever
word

and once
cast
into a rain
of forever

and before the wind was born
