heat begins on bones
beneath the cheeks
dust flies & glitters
in yellow light
over radiators
My PhD idea came to me after a mugging on a beach in Cambodia. Read the rest at from Tweet to Thesis.
heat begins on bones
beneath the cheeks
dust flies & glitters
in yellow light
over radiators
quarter to five
still white sky
branches like night
and lower air
tastes just this side of snow
red ridge
cold curve
the end of ear
against my winter
-roughed lips
and winter
-warm breath
soft moans, louder talk
two eggcream walls
do nothing to disrupt
like traffic
whispers & double
-paned window
still streaked
with vinegar
Magdalene & the Mermaids
