Midnight Confessions
First, remove the eyelids— they hold too much fiberglass. Grind streetlight into gunpowder, cut it with gravel—snort the cocaine dusk. Take the sidewalk like heretic communion, metal-flake wine, asphalt host. She blinks razors. Stars break in her clavicle. You don’t touch her—you calibrate. Banana fingers, bruised and humming, plucking vapor off the fencepost. Storm-laced teeth. Voice as hinge, breath as cordless vacuum throat tightrope over a cheap motel dirty...

Early in the morning Before the sun dawned, Women crept to the garden Asking how to open the tomb, How to see in the gloom What do we say to the guards? The earth shook! Tremors rocked the city walls, Leaves fell like rain, And the guards ran and hid; At the tomb, these...

In Existence
I, too, wish to carry a bullet for the ducks flying through snow. I, too, want to live under neon lights— blue light still my closest friend. I, too, take cold showers until my hands stop shaking, snapping red like nerves. I, too, clasp my hands after killing a mosquito, even if blood and genes mean nothing. I, too, walk through mist, loving the snails that move slow like me. I,...
