But I can't say that aloud; I can't tell anyone that I have been waiting for this all my life and that being chosen to wait is the reason I can. If I were able I'd say it. Say make me, remake me. You are free to do it and I am free to let you because look, look. Look where your hands are. Now.

resonating like an uncivilized drum.

can't wake up from a silent curve
since your stubbornly hip coconut dream
waves lapped in hood style against backyard cement that you
drum, drip, drink
me and my open milk
lungs in the slang of your car
like all those slow smoke pulls
shelled with bloody lips and remember when you said
you'd rather cut your eyes open
than to never
kiss me again.
