Confession

Remember that time I told you
I wanted to talk
I was scared
I was failing at finding
The labyrinth exit
And the Minotaur
Wasn't you
And you could have told me
It's ok
These monsters are scary
And you could have told me
About your own
Troubled navigation
That we are both flawed heroes
But instead
We fucked like possession
We fucked like grief
Like you and us were distinct
Entities and you controlled
The sluice house
You fucked me like you owned me
Like no it's me your monster
And I'm still so sad about it
This isn't really a poem
It's just my confession
I know you won't find it here

What’s yours

Now everyone is a consumer
4:30 and he still wasn’t back
Core and the enrichment
5 o’clock still wasn’t back
Loosies on the sidewalk
Lay your hair out for the taking
It’s all mine for the taking
I’ll show you the receipts

GOODWILL WALKING MEDITATION


looking for the
pea green turtleneck 
I go back bashful, bullied
like the terrain took it
from me for a reason

scan for tiny pea green
in the sea glass forest neon 
sage nausea emergency
like my crossing guard vest 
purposeful on its hook

 that turtleneck could have 
been everything
undercover forever21
practical treasure now 
downtown store gone empty
great loss or lesson 
frenetic marketplace as rodeo
will I win 

round and round like
laundry sloshing 
repulsion’s flitty daze
glimpses of a creased
pouting gargoyle 
in the crowded mirror 
mother daughter
conference cull

 one thing's for sure -
you really know 
your own style

 waistbands to hold in
dreams, save breath for
braver moments

 how the pea green arms
would look
slow waving against
a future twilight

Shitbird

It wasn't your fault
how could he not see you
it was still daylight
right
and these shitbirds
on both sides
your shitbird
versus his shitbird
make sure you can get
what you can
when you need
it the most.
