Amiri, _____________, perhaps

it’d have been nothing, (as it has been for some time now

The main thing lately I’ve been against is death,

 

Sometimes still,
I fall into    feeling

a love for you as casual as communism     futured as it could have been     from the outset

something to look forward to in this slow coup

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Lying for poetic effect e.g.: Peapod®: from whence come all my groceries^[1], all my nourishment
signed off on and delivered intact. (In truth, I walk to the island and overspend, then wonder
where all the money’s gone. There is no seal or surety. I flop amidst the legumes. I feel so sad
for my perineum^[2], feel no fault but my own)

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

thatanimal feasts in shit and dusts up salt from whatever skin. every body has potential as a puddle. slide right in with that proboscis. land on me

and put those feels to use. if you lick the fish then swallow     you can break geometry with geometry.

 

who else has played victim to the atlantic? i’m no victim really, but was carried. you carry me somewhere else. i love your gutty gathering. try and
break geometry with geometry 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

please know there is a kindness to sweat. laid here as such i become/a lake. please read the gesture and return it

when you say you feel good in this world we make i say the feeling’s returned

how good it is to return, not as charity but of love

this feeling is not mutual but returned

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

all day stuck in your fresh lap     licked up by inches

and salt-low

and caught up in the rapture and matched to your wearing

i’m trying on a harmony     with you, an elegant lesson in teaching/ “geometry about geometry”
