i could not foresee this, this
fragile wingbone in your wrist
and i could not predict this, this
frigidness
because the sun is so hot this morning, it
scorches the blankets on
which we are sleeping
and we’re drinking a gallon of water
and reading a book
about fire
and a bird flies in through the bedroom window
and it lands on your mouth
and enters your throat
so i enter my tongue there
and [ooh] feel for its feathers
and [ooh] its fragile wingbone
and i could not predict this, this
spaciousness
in the gap between its beak and its feathers
[ooh] there is a blanket
and [ooh] there is a mattress
where i could fall asleep, i think
wearing nothing
and you could fall asleep there too
[ooh, ooh, ooh]
[ooh, ooh, ooh]

so much for the garden
so much for the roof
so much for the mud
and the white noise
of the vacuum
your mood changes
based on the season
i don’t expect for it
to build
but i will build you
a garden
and send it
overseas
hydrangea /
daffodil
accept this garden
as my seasonal
affected apology
blades of broken grass
and a place for you
to rest your head

Tell Me

tell me that you look at me
and tell me what you see
tell me that you love me
and tell me that you’ll leave
tell me that you loved a man
in the hollow quality of his sleep
tell me that you took him home
and took him in, took him in
gently
tell me his mouth is fragranced like
marcq-en-barœul
and tell me the château there was
fragranced too
remind me why it worked out
when we were 22
what did we do?
tell me in the hallway that’s hollow
tell me this blue mark means
you don’t feel anything
oh, tell me you don’t feel
anything, or
tell me to go fuck myself
i don’t want anything else
oh, tell me you don’t feel
tell me you don’t feel
tell me you don’t

and when we both go
during the storm
of the snow
in this cold white room
melting our mouths
in the afternoon
my lips will turn blue
they’ll be blue for you
in this frozen room
during the snow
of the afternoon
and when our eyes close
that’s the snow in our bones, i’ll suppose
pressing on our breath
breathing
until we’re breathless

in the beginning, we were biking together
we were biking in the parking lot
you were on the telephone
after a while, we biked back to your father’s place
where you showed me
the basement, the bench of the piano
two places where you used to sleep
now it’s the middle of november
we’re drunk on three beers
and the moon
and the bicycle
we’re drunk in the basement
when you ask me to follow you
we wobble when we’re walking down the hallway
past the living room
you point towards the bedroom
you point towards the mattress
you point towards the bicycle
sitting out on the balcony
would i be so kind as to ride away
with you?
so i say, i’m not a bicycle
you cannot ride me
you cannot ride me
then forget all about me
i’m not a bicycle
my parts aren’t interchangeable
i’m not a bicycle
i’m bound to get rusty
tomorrow morning, you’ll tell me
you’ve hurt me
we’ll drink a pot of coffee
and you’ll forget all about me
i’ll exit through the living room
or plummet from the balcony
as a reminder that there’s
a spontaneity about me
you’ve always cared so much
for spontaneity
