shapeshifting sheep in wolf’s clothes dissembled,
warp and woof settles to whimpering
abandon your heteronormative sleep-paralysis-induced
American dream
moreover a lucid nightmare
remembered in present tense,
for its confidence
enamored in infrared,
a lust indeterminate
I don’t want to lie to you forever,
but if I don’t, you might not stay for long
and I don’t want to sing this tune forever,
just hoping one day we could ever learn another song

Rat City

if I could waste my time anywhere I like,
would you have the time too
if you could waste your life, wouldn’t we all be fine
staying up all night in
time counting the steps from my back door but never entering
despite how easy it should be, never ask so sincerely
if I could waste my time anywhere I like,
would you have the time too
if you could waste your life, wouldn’t we all be fine
staying up all night in rat city
it’s inevitable
that the bumps and the cracks in the pavement will catch us on our toes
why don’t you write a song about it;
that’ll really change things, won’t it?
won’t it?
rebricked the sidewalk so we’d stop dragging on our heels
a compulsivity, a prolificity
the pot hole, a plot hole
come home
if I could waste my time anywhere I like,
would you have the time too
if you could waste your life, wouldn’t we all be fine
staying up all night in

First Snow

catching crystals in the parking lot
a colder shoulder shrugs off the daydream,
“don’t go, darling ghost”
white flag flown half mast, celebrating your
first snow all alone
empty houses,
a ghost town of false homes
their haunting echoes,
a comfort all our own
but just as the light we found grows dimmer,
as our symmetries dissolve
a fray in the fabric softly unravels the pattern
as a shaking timbre sings to soliloquy,
an apology bereft
of a closure once held so dearly:
swan song sung too early
frozen over, winter’s sympathy
has grown up on goodbyes so half-hearted
“don’t go, darling ghost”
your first snow, all alone
