Irene
says love
in the end
will make wallpaper
of you. And eye
say love
then let me be
wallpaper. Cherry
laminate & almost
lickable. Damned.
Impervious.
And absolutely
indelible
***
In this dream
I shaved
my head
& taught
my Barbie Hair
to walk
on a leash
***
I need
to un.love you.
Rescind
the magic & reverse
polarity.
***
I opened my mouth to the sky and let the stars fall in,
swallowing each and every one. And they burned.
Burned like whiskey going down.
***
She fans the steam
like fog across the dark lake
of her coffee bowl. A dim pond
quakes. No cranes take flight.
