This Whatever
This whatever
this watered word
this sway limb
does it bother tangle
with another what
another ever
that wanted word.

My Lovers
My lovers do not make me happy
They dig deep pits for my eyes
and the red blooming runes under them
were written and left
uninterpreted by my lovers, too.
Their iron sharpens iron
and smashes all else in me.
My hands wring dry as my
lovers lead me to the desert
disappearing to scout the coming heights.
I am left in terror
I am left in myself
at the bottom of a spirit
my lovers hollow
before they fill.

HOW a non-fiction reader can read a fiction book
FIRST: Pretend it's from your daughter.
Not by her, FROM HER.
NEXT: and that she has something to
tell you but she doesn't know
the right jargon. She can just
barely make sentences. she can
just barely SPEAK.
THIRD: You may have to pretend
you're her to hear. Or pretend
you're anyone.
FOURTH: It's OKAY. We're not our selves.
we're all kinds of people.
LASTLY: even fiction readers.

Pronunciations
It stormed - i mean the sky -
the cemetery walks - i mean i do -
new bark shed - cracked - peeled - slid -
from the done tree
new birds lying
around
an upside down cake - i mean nest -
shrink-wrapped flowers - roses -
new lopsides arrangements
of names
without pronunciations.
