We untangled expletives and shoe varnish
bruised knees and arsenic
ninety-five and
choking on
syllables and salt water
I fell between the fault line
of candy floss
and adolescence
as the scalpel
split the continent in two.

Literature
philosophy has lost its appeal
Your absence isn't the elephant in the room;
It’s the invisible parasites lounging in the floorboards
Just writhing for a taste of lonely flesh.
My repaired left half is gone;
Without you, I’m faulty once more:
The half-blind broken wind-up doll is here again.
There aren't words to describe the emptiness:
just return soon.
Literature
Universe Inside Her
there is a universe inside her
systems upon systems
sometimes they collide,
synchronize,
or overlap and pass
some bright and expansive
as newly forming stars
some dark and vacuous
as old ones collapsing
there is a universe beside me
in this bed, she is my earth
life terrain
hills and valleys
through shared rock shelves
of history
our collection of mismatched
objects and moments
fractured and whole
useless fossils
yet essential
to the balance
and gravity between us
our lives combine here
we heal and break
in the shared ache
of empty and full
there is a universe inside us
around us, with
and without us
our moons mature
into stars
spin off
Literature
apostasy
before he led me like a lamb
to the altar,
he got me drunk.
take this and eat, he said,
hands on my hipbones,
soft thighs, soft sigh
for this is my body -
but he gave me no bread, only
bruises, and he gave me
new thorns for my head
and i bled
till sunday morning.
tell me:
who speaks of resurrection?
are you there,
mary magdalene?
mary, when
will easter come?
