The beauty of taking liquid
and making it into brick
you can eat…
Food
you bloomed,
and now your petals
are melting
toward the mulch…
Look, the sunshine is happening,
and I got a walk outside,
and the leftover lasagna was excellent
at lunch, and I had a cookie afterward…
I used to think
the sparks or electricity
from your crush’s casual
brush of skin
was made up, or an exaggeration
to prove a point…
would you give up
the stretch of a cinnamon roll,
the smoothness of pudding,
the crunch of a cucumber…
legs are cream-filled donuts,
some kind of structure
on the outside,
but soft and collapsible
on the inside…
Everybody do their own thing,
I’m over here fishing
and grilling…
If it’s kelly
it’s terry like a bathrobe
if it’s pistachio
it’s pudding smooth
if it’s pine
it’s a prickle bed of needles
if it’s olive
it’s rough canvas
He clinks the glass,
lifts the rim to his lips.
The sun threads the window,
illuminating the whiskey…
Kinetic means sand
sliding in and out of the jar
Kinetic means stirring the milk
so it doesn’t burn…
