cigarette eyes
diamond nails
burn us up
we replaced everything with your sorrow
owl talons and cold talk
dear, I’d give it back if I could

rain in May
your daughter’s engagement
cracked luck
I missed the last train for your love
what can we do now?
oak palms
I spent all my money on calls
your hotel rooms, snuck away with
another man
on the coast
violent coves off his harbor

my arms worn down to
cracked porcelain
I’m taping myself up in hopes
you let me inhale you in
