All my friends are in love and it is
a delight I don’t mean it that way
Fiancees are everywhere with flying
patio furniture and ashy pollen
I want to open my hands and beg but I
am not yet proud enough I only just
learned to bow and lean I haven’t hit
any targets at the range which is
expansive and full of ice you know what
they say it is in the air
what about the linens they’ll say 
how do bodies
how does time
I’m betrothed alright to a burrito bigger
than two faces touching and 
forgetting and I am betrothed also to the shady
side of a skyscraper I call a hillside slope
and one more thing a bad liver
Did you know at the bottom of
the ocean there’s a river of toxic salt
Even still, my presence
How I cough up a room
Cradle the hell out of a flute and
Hum a veil to sleep     It’s unanimous 
I am the queen of fiancees 
I emerge at the top of a foamy group self 
adorned with sash and crown they look
just like skinned knees
