Studying Linguistics
Instead of those prizes,
in pretty wraps,
gift me words-
– you don’t have to wrap them.
Words that you remember-
words that you are fond of.
Words that make you,
bleed you,
haunt you.
Let me hear how you say them.
Syllable by syllable,
and I’ll carefully write them down,
on a handmade paper.
I’ll transcribe them
into an old notebook.
But I would leave your words in my garden.

Black Cat
When I tell you about her
you must not doubt,
She isn’t entirely black —
She is a black canvas of modern art,
A can of paint beautifully thrown in a dark ocean —

your hair and your nails;
Everything appears so old and so ugly
To embrace or to hold,
In disgust and in fear

Mediocre poems of a lonely night #2
Mediocre poems of a lonely night #2
Wet neon lights heavy on our eyes
This rain is killing us,
We know it on our skin
And yet we can’t help but find romance
In this wasteland
So we laugh —
Laugh to feel anything other than dread of this lonely night (like yesterday)
This room is flooded and it faintly smells like skin
Some burnt;
Some rotten
I ask you if you want kids
“Yes”
Your laughter ringing in my ears —
