from That Which Comes After
We banged each other’s others
Some parts I don’t like
To be touched in the
Moon cycle is my cycle
Normal I don’t count the days
Except cross off the calendar
It’s not a countdown but
A keeping tack of
When I bleed is probably
A schedule but I just wait
For the pain to kick in
Pull your fist into a fist
Pull my walls into my walls
Is there a perfect size to
Get to the meat
Of the poem someone
Is walking a boxer
Not Mike Tyson there’s
A spot in Missouri
I’ve been told I’d hate
There’s a town in Alabama
I’ve had some family die
What’s our history make up
Interior lives mean inside
My apartment it’s 10:13
I’m trying to write this book
Even though what comes
After you I’m not sure
A hangnail on my second toe
Imitate a rowboat for the song
To be sung correctly
You need some guts
Testify against me in
Battle of who gets what
Days are or aren’t a construct
What am I trying at
My coffee is getting cold
Hang on
OK here
She did not die in the river
But it was wet
Late May morning
We’re covered in sleep
Or I am you know
The moments where you’re aware
This is important this is something
I will never forget
