The very first one is my last name framed and

the two combined ages until I told you

Intuitive of me to recreate!

Sitting aligned, until sticking around after one teensy little cuss

Shook up and almost withdrew

Every time but twice since

One beach bench was the end of abyss kept going

There was that whole time I didn’t see

Who still got through it


Focus at me sharply, blankly

Dare me to project and demand I not

Pulls out the base of my stomach and in the open pit of my ribs

And makes a sprout grow out my head

The link between lost and here

Fueled by asparagus water

[Lens repair]


This is here, now, journey over

Loosening up as the shutters-in

Rest found in the tub and the climb up to conquer

Mountains not easy, so canyons of sandstone

That’s a reasonable summit set to achieve

In felt air masks

[Despair, friend]


Some seem underdeveloped with raw red eyes

Tasty twists set across the room

Metallic not fading as it should be

This continues through energy transfers

Through firework releases

Sweet portrait, layered humble pie

And petals to prairies while you subsist

Supple on surprises every step

Telegraphing steely strength, a treadmill scanning at an angle

Hand-in-hand successful, enacting the ascent


Without the fade, disappearance feels abrupt.


After all, I can do this myself just

Please don’t leave me nothing but recounting
