two a.m. rose water’s delirium


rhythm kisses slow slide 

up a very little hickey

protection spells chipping

red dark’s darkness never made me

sit stillfully inout of knowin’ what’s

rhythm to me


love’s after me running

roses and silver

jewelry


too specific to be poetry?

too specific for you to


feel with me, bobble the

guillotine? who’s sayin’ 

tom foolery doesn’t have that

revolutionary rhythm 

of

kissing 


and being so 

specific with you, 

knowhatimean?


candles and crosses on the street

corn growin’ where cement should be’s 

shuckin’ on 16th and mission recology,

youknowwhatimean?


ferry tea’s hot from oakland docks 

to kadıköy. burnt my tongue lookin’ to 

see a star fallin’ 

in muhammad’s green.


man, budapest’s supposed to be cheap

now i’m makin chicken paprikash with canned pinto 

beans.


don’t kick it with me and talk philosophy, boy,

i don’t want to hear it. just hit me with a 

minor g


linger in it, let g minor’s smoke blow out your nostrils

throw up all that nicotine and

push back our seats–


–yes, i’m a sensual being flying

on tactile string, tied to some angel

watchin’ over me.


kissing you is kissing me 

over our seats 

over cloud volumes

into something we receive,


love, 


doyouknowwhatimean?
