Three Down

this fix is about ten beyond
where red stains reach out from
above the druid hills
you feel it coming loose in
that unspoken way
sudden symmetry and
sudden symmetry
that renders him
so artfully in light
you'll stop now
i see you’re holding yourself like
the father we left
at a feverish pace
take two now
and then you’re coming right back
with his promising look
and a serial smile
so you stammer on and
can't help but hesitate
when asked lightly about
where the Aster’s gone
now your touch is seeming
less electric and
now your touch is seeming
less electric
as your hands corrode
so artfully in light
what’s left now
only the sketches you tried
over a featureless doll
yelling “the future’s now!”
take three down
and then you’re coming right back
with his promising look
and a serial smile

Acrobats

certain ones of you
stood decomposing,
atrophied
but something wasn’t wrong
with no one naming it
must have been an
honest line delivered
memorized
someone felt it once
maybe i did too
is it all
as it was before?
stop toeing the line
that you drew
wide eyed and wearier
circles of you left
like acrobats in
slanted shoes
but something wasn’t wrong
with no one naming it
sauntered over, velvet
like the king I never knew
said this must be done
before you finished it
is it all
seeming steadier?
stop toeing the line
that you deemed
so tried and regular
they say distance
is all that you need for a view
but that fire
is known in the heat of its use
and this shading
is seen in the grains of its blues
and what violence
to see it so wholesome and true

New Face

call it in
this room can’t contain what it collects
on the edges of the city’s dancing sights
where i couldn’t stop to measure out my pace
where the ground was so materially strange
heard no one sees old
with a new face in town
and some morphine in tow
feeling newly around
i thought you thought change was so American
better now
with a dedicated alibi in flesh
and a sign he held bewildered to the left
“no, the damages don’t last long where they stem” x 2
heard no one sees old
with a new face in town
and some morphine in tow
feeling newly around
i thought you thought change was so American
