Glossy as a frog's egg
And hollow
No soul trans woman from North Georgia
Having fun a lot of the time
If practical
Sometimes I'm in Atlanta
That's not true
I'm never in Atlanta
No Alcohol
It's a health thing
Not straight edge
Always looking to hang out
And make intimate connections
Always looking for kisses
Always looking
Always wanting

Our palms
Your lucky river rock
In a bedroom
After the mourners
How you lifted my skirt
You visited my spine
With a cool stone
With a cool stone
Serene Dionysus
My nape craves you awake
Serene Dionysus
My nape craves you awake

Some myth may cause
This inferior season
I'm sure you've heard them
Aged like beef
Or, controlled rot
Good rot?
You only need a day or two
None of this is true
Different taste, same basic acid
Similar changes
The animal dies
The muscles go into mortis
A stiffening
It can cause phenomenon
Remain tougher
This is definitely not
Controlled rot

Self-Portrait as the Magician
Four days I've been wrapped in the arms of some godbeautiful lover
Everything that comes from my lips is praise
Or may as well be
WISDOM language
Spoken over the blissful instruments
Stuff gets through to me
The means of your being
Body emerges like a pillar between the branches of reality
Whose virtuous truth will I gaze on in the red sun?
And what of your beautiful wrists? Your thighs?
These are mysteries typical to me
Like the arcana pinned
On the rim of your long-body mirror
I prefer interpreting opaque things
Stars, torsos, flirtations
Thereby I receive the eternity of waists
You preoccupy me

I worry a lot about the fun I'm not having
I worry a lot about how much closer I wish I was to my girlfriend in Kentucky
I think about how much closer I wish I was to my girlfriend at Yale
I wish I was not as poor as I was
I love to be transgender
That much I can say
I wish what I wanted wasn't impossible
I wish what I wanted felt attainable
I wish what I wanted was attainable
What I want is total
Ssssubsumption
Just the pure tide of love
Obliterating me
