a poem from me


i'm writing the best poems of my life right now btw. (but don't every artist say that though?)

god is good| sex is good| and both even better when you know em for yourself| ha!

(that wasn't the poem):

wildseed's young girl.


if i was as fearless as i claim i am

last night, i woulda wrote you and said:


goodnightgoodnightgoodnight i give

you a sweet tomorrow. 


       but there's the iknow former

         other lover roommate conferences

         sleep too late friendships i turned

       a candle in your candelabrum maybe

       you noticed? the hole in the loafers

       i left by your door. 


writing you would only underestimate

the atlantic/ like a messenger bird

between us since our last death.


        before, 

          i jumped every plank cuz you was waiting

       and you shanked every culprit try and come for me.

          there's a hater in every crowd. last time we rode every 

        rocket til we trumpet. and i stole every star cuz they was tryin do

too much. i stitched every scar into a cover we could

dance under, i must 

            remember now, to give you

             room. before 


            i swallowed

      every rain, sick

with missing 

you away. 


youhearme?


part my legs, 

      sink.

swat the mundane from my mouth:


goodnightgoodnightgoodnight and

ten thousand tomorrows
