SUNDAY


after eons of 
slanted rain
the table is covered in light
the ants return
my brother’s toy piano
the boots I have not worn
Dolly Parton’s voice floating 
from a small speaker 
downstairs 
the world can be so 
forgiving sometimes 
radiator prayer
bowl of steam
cupped air above skin
preserving salt for 
punch hole desire 
of days
to come

This one's about Anger

I'm slow to it
And when I find it
It feels too heavy to hold
The moon must wane
The sun has to set
I prick this rage with needles
And let it deflate
Oh, but it fills the air
All around us
Shit.
I didn't think about this.
I wade through it still holding
The flaccid rubber shell
This was not well-planned.

Those wise old drunks
Speaking truth to any passerby
You should see us when we’re sober
Seduction!
I’m sorry but I’m not man
It’s who I am seduction bro
I haven’t seen him in a couple days 
I’m worried about him

 Look at his eyes man
Where’s he at?
Sorry man I’m a Sagittarius
I always looks up
It’s in my genes
Who wants to look at dirt
But we need it all
Earth Wind and Fire
Cabrón
New York child
You thought you were
Fast
But kids in New York... 
That is your number one
That’s you

Rode The White Swan

Look! The Queen's waterfowl,
break yer arms with a wing
it would
it's a rich thing,
why wouldn't it.

The national animal,
flower, tree of this or that,
with great power comes...
the national person of this or
that.

And with great power comes
power to ripple back
back and back until the
breaker that chains
all memory,
all stifled croak,
and sniffling
is flipped.
