i won’t sing the deep thing from a corner. who would take me for their favorite riptide? this could be so jubilant, dear arteries, but you love a swivel—and they wonder how a body turns that grayer form of gorgeous. as if wonder was the ember and not the sum of deaths before it.

i may dissolve today. it all depends on how my salt behaves— the way it cakes across your skin. my ricochet of crystal off your fickle chemistry within. i only want to alter you till i become the salt of you & the mist upon your flesh is the bliss in which i swim. #vss365

he fled the algorithm once it began to bramble & fell in with the ministry of mist—their valley of swanlight, bodies only plasma, good earth a gamble. days filled with the silky business of vapor, shawling the land in its own soft karma. floating murmurs into armor. #vss365

no news is good news like a wind pipe in a noose— like a letter from a lost friend you won’t look for without a friend who knows what you’ll do upon the gray discovery your first friend was never lost but just hovering in a feverworld in an anything you were not. #vss365

recipe for creation— take something broad like rot roll the word over your tongue & off your chin & down your belly find a quiet stone who has never felt you die set a limit like your narrow veins or maybe fifty words then against your apprehension commit treason

i’ll only wax long enough to slow the old song down. call yourself human, your home sphere is blue & softer than you ever hoped. earth has been a nurturing surrogate & when we evaporate, may we learn to lift her on our elevator made out of sunpowder. flame our leaving as a bloom.

we went as a dare. packs abrim with waves of bottled sound, fins to swim the loam as our hips still had none. tent irrelevant. we saw the site in a far yawn of blackfern—moon cracked just enough to let us in. all the wings & legs at awkward angles. we never felt the web. #vss365

it really was just you against the grass. your body eclipsing a patch that will never know sun the same way after. something about destiny or decay—i don’t recall the dream but love your brows no less. the way you gazed up then left. swiftly left me with a nothing underneath.

take the feedback how you can—hop the fence after the last fetti has fluttered & slink across the bloody turf to stuff its crumpled scraps into your muddy parka. take it & run fast to your refuge. open with abandon. read the remaining omens & return your mind to diamond. #vss365

I wander off like a butterfly net then you wander in like an exploratory surgery. If you're not waiting out my collection and I'm not escaping your findings is there a chance we're working together? It might explain our hobbies being connected by fate's nervous two stomach system.

We cast our night Upon the ground Our bright faces shine As we walk Beside the trees As evening carries us home Casting our night Upon the ground Shape of us Stretching out As we walk Beside the trees Carrying us home

i’m not usually one to share. i mean i swallow light for good. the world is where i frolic with the quiet as my collar. not that i don’t love you—in my omens you flower all over me, family & alleyghost enjoined. i’m not usually one to die. but today i left the honey to the hive.

I wrote you a poem this morning.
Everything is Terrible So Here’s a Picture of a Tree

Everything is terrible so here’s a picture of a tree
here’s a picture of a cat
I’m sorry for sending you a picture of a cat when everything is terrible
No, don’t be, please
I want the pictures of cats
of trees
Maybe it’s me who’s irresponsible, wanting those pictures of trees
of cats
when everything is so terrible
No, it’s not
It’s not irresponsible to want to remember the fragility of a leaf
and its power too
the way it buds and grows and changes color and falls. The way it feeds some and shelters others, all while powering something mighty, with such deep roots
It’s not irresponsible to want to look at soft warm fur, and imagine pressing your face into that softness, or to contemplate the miracle of toes spread wide in pleasure, or smile at some small naughtiness captured in pixels
You send me these things because you love me.
And I send them to you because I love you
yes, even if I don’t know you
I am sending you this picture of a tree, this picture of a cat, because I love you and I want you to know that you are loved enough for me to want you to remember trees
and to remember cats
even when it feels wrong to do so.
Let us both remember that trees have roots that dig into the earth 
and branches that reach to the sky
even on the worst days.
And cats—
cats especially—
for they are famous for enjoying the soft caress of a friend one moment
and turning into a ferocious ball of claws and teeth and bristling fur and indignation the next
as must we.
So send me your pictures of cats
of trees
And let us both save our apologies for what we cannot do
instead of what we can.

New story alert! My micro, "En Passant" is published in the latest issue of @inkinthirds.bsky.social, a stunning print journal. It's a story of friendship, in which I indulge my passion for chess and its marvellous terminology. The full issue is beautiful. See link in my comment below.

i am not that ghost in the wheat maze there, thin left-field notion waving white outlines of arms in your bled peripheral. no, i am this fat ripple right here, the dew below your blinking lid, as intimate a droplet as any dream that’s ever drenched you. yes, i am this— i am.
