rich wet heavy compost
hyper sensual descriptions of feelings i didn't even know i had had
dog-eared almost every page

"mistyping in an email I write
I lose you so much today

then leave it"

"I, a man,
am what I do not say.

America, I warn you, if you invite me into your home
I will linger

kissing my beloveds frankly,
pulling up radishes
and capping all your pens.

There are no good kings,
only burning palaces.

Lose me today, so much."
