It's horrible to see a distinguished salt-and-pepper type man in brogues play freemium mobile games on the train. Shouldn't you be reading a John Updike novel? Why do they even print them anymore if you won't?
and I’m going to be right behind you.
And if the love of a woman or two, dear,
could move you to such heights,
then all I can do
is do, my darling, right by you.
we decided to stay, 'till the tide rose too far.
We weren’t afraid, cause we know what you are;
and you know that we know what you are.
Awful atoll —
O, incalculable indiscreetness and sorrow!
Bawl bellow:
Sibyl sea-cow, all done up in a bow.
Toddle and roll;
follow me, my sweetest friend,
to see what you anointed,
in pointing your gun there.
Lay it down! Nice and slow!
There is nowhere to go,
save up;
up where the light, undiluted, is
weaving, in a drunk dream,
at the sight of my baby, out back:
back on the patio,
so the muddy mouths of baboons and sows, and the grouse, and the horse, and the hen
grope at the gate of the looming lake that was once a tidy pen.
And the mail is late, and the great estates are not lit from within.
The talk in town’s becoming downright sickening.
butterflies and birds collide at hot, ungodly hours.
And my clay-colored motherlessness rangily reclines —
Come on home, now! All my bones are dolorous with vines.
Pa pointed out to me, for the hundredth time tonight,
the way the ladle leads to a dirt-red bullet of light.
and we cut facsimiles of love and death
(just separate holes in sheets
where you cannot breathe, and you cannot see).
And I cannot now, for the life of me, believe our talk—
our flock had cause to leave,
but do we?
do we?
Moths surround me.
Thought they’d drown me.
And I miss your precious heart.
And I miss your precious heart.
Dried rose petals —
redbrown circles —
frame your eyes and
stain your knuckles.
Dried rose petals —
