you would not understand
what it means to fall in love

as if you’ve already known
that it must be i
quiet i looking i
holding the heavy love
for us both
these giant holes of light
these hands wrecked with the small
and the insects that sit on bony branches
like lesser gods dissolving in the leaves
that too know
how to pray
or kill a man
my brother is tickling my feet
my sister is wanting to wrestle us both
air laughs between then and then in the sweet pardon
of excuse me child
have you heard what rumi said
about this
let the beauty we love be what we do
are you done
is this night
where i dream in the slop of your inhale
with persian on my tongue
the split fruit of books on the carpet
where i am trying to swear more often
because of that damned poet reminding
each day is a tinier day
each body is becoming less of a body
by being with others
on a ripped page is an entire life
in a word there the worried universe
the scalps understand
the scallops even more so
you lick your fingers with childhood
meat full of meat
like my grandmother who taught her
earth brown cat
a persian i think
to tickle
to hold
to love the unknown
universally

they the strong
they the knowledgeable
will the question caught on my throat
survive the morning ...continue reading

murphy’s sign
yellow on the horizon
with a dark more total than
fingers moving in small steps
and smaller spaces
an ambulance is in the distance
your breathe is on my neck
what is this gall
how do you hold me
with all your living
