6th Excerpt From Mind Emerging
I call to let her know I have dirty dogs and a dead boyfriend in my condo.
At Ten They Dole Out Pills
Pills are handed out, swallowed squares—comfort to troubled minds.
The vultures are not cruel.
Your inner thigh sends bees up my spine.
I feed my newfound passion with “rrrr,s.”
I like the brief contact I have with my neighbors.
My arms gather nothing.I am afraid of this nothing.
It’s not the wind that catches my hair in fever.
Gladys was thin and frail, swimming in a night coat the color of salmon.
Pills are handed out, swallowed squares—comfort to troubled minds.
I want to take a cute girl to the moon.
Her body sinking, a rock done skipping across water.
Psychosis is a parrot with a sharp beak.
