the most perfect poetry 

and every time we kissed there was another apple to slice into pieces

this poetry collection was absolutely beautiful and is what it's described as; driven by panic and obsession.
favorite poems: scheherazade, visible world, a primer for the small weird loves, unfinished duet, planet of love, you are jeff, snow and dirty rain

2nd read: richard siken how dare you make me feel emotions
favorite poems: dirty valentine, little beast #7, the torn-up road, litany in which certain things are crossed out, boot theory, i had a dream about you, saying your names, road music #3, the dislocated room
