Layers of fabric. the
writings become blurred
on her skin

unwinding

the only kind of heaven
I know. Laying there

so much to be and would
be and maybe in my
Choices. A kind of
prayer

my cells made
into an art, like Sylvia
and her fish scales

sewn onto the wedding
the desert the decidedly
unknown

He rolls me out
onto a table (for three)
to read. He seems

to doubt.

But I know. I know
I want this just as much as
those voices on my Father’s
box humming drumming
over the landscape

black and green
always stuck on extremes

and I hear her say
she doesn’t think this’ll end
the way we’re used to

so I’m somewhere between
with spiders crawling out
of my ears. a nest
in there

somewhere between

because I want to breathe.
everything

This is true poetry. I was amazed as how this grew better with each line. Beautiful, slightly eery. I like your style, its refreshing.

hey,
since your message says say whatever, i think i will lol. to be completely honest, i love your stuff. you've always been one of my favorite poets at PIP, even though it is always very difficult for me to interpret your pieces. i usually have to read them more then once, but it's always fun to do. thanks for sharin, as usual.

I think this was the first time I've read your stuff, but I'll definetely be looking for it in the future. This was an awesome poem, I liked the style of it. Thanks for the read.

I enjoyed the style used in this piece, I especailly liked the line breakes to emphasize certain words and trains of thought. Nicely done, striking poem and a lovely write.
