✑ A fly on a screen
bug on a window
mucous thing
in between
A finger baby inchworm
apple amplified in the dark
with eyes rolling back, how she’s pleased!
My eyes open again
and she’s in my face
The only definition that ever existed is the glint
Stars out in blue, all-time cumulus zoo
A metamorphic wet face
Selfie with nuance blowing any which way
No erasure. Only layers. Anarchy girl.
No tracking. Only changes. Butter gamer.
The only definition that ever existed was the glint
Ripe of ages
Phone apple rings
I take a bite spit the bite out and say WHO IS IT
The puzzle didn’t need to conclude firmly
tied up in hopefulness
The puzzle is a riddle with no resolve
Figurehead
She’s a wall-mounted
leader with power
and she’s a happy captive cow and resource
Scrolling amazon I hear an internal voice say where am I
Scrubbing backwards to find something,
I feel my face from the inside:
I am a scarecrow
I ward off trespassers
ragged
I’m a sensual breezeway
clenching zip ties in my fists
Anarchy and worms and alligators in an unmanned garden
Cats are the town criers
and career pagans show up
forcibly compressed like stone
