EMILY AS A BLUE ANSWER
Now that
I found her
you can set
this dump-
ster on fire.
She was
the whole
rummage.
EMILY AS A REASON TO NEVER SLEEP
Emily is asleep
all of the time.
That is the calamity
of my love. She is
still. She is a place
& rarely
the combustion
of that place.
So, it’s up to me
to become the body
active enough
for her to dream
about my absence.
She is cruel enough
to do just that.
EMILY AS DESIRE REPEATS
Every cityscape ends
up with us
all over them. How
rare it is for two bodies
to become
the actual weather.
