a near universal form of physical intimacy
I like capturing my family
because then for Christmas
I can just set them free
Bedtime
The sun exploded.
We survived.
It doesn’t make any sense.
*
There is no light but stars
but we were born blind.
There is no heat
but we have never felt warmth anyway.
*
I know
that I lie
in a hospital bed
not because I have any evidence
but because I figured it out.
*
When you live your whole life
without the six human senses
to provide information
on the outside world,
you live inside your head.
*
When you are incapable of anything
but thought
you develop complex systems of logic
based on
nothing.
*
Impossible constructs.
*
Theories of existence
which could just as easily be true.
*
We lie on these hospital beds
under the white white sky.
We will survive until the IVs run dry.
*
When I die
I’m unsure
I’ll notice
the difference
*
*
*
.
Gargle salt water on the rocks
We lie on our backs
on the yacht
like burning corpses
My lisping tongue
is swollen from kissing
The sun won’t set for six months
Maze
