word spooge

a veil before your eyes

drown in heavy cream

drink in honey

toss the container in the street.

lift luggage

lift lids

lift a finger

break down.

affects

like the rough renders i scrawl

with ball pen

at two am,

my love for you is incomplete.

finding.

wish we had a past,

instead of this irresolute present.

wishes,

like water,

ever precious.

for (granted)

for (ever)

let me dream of raw wood

with strong grains

that challenge the tyranny of straight lines

and straight lives

with dogs on rugs in front of fires holding back the draft from the door that leads to rolling hills

or lakes

or all the forests of the world

wrap me in that throw we knitted from the unraveling of our minds

and fall asleep with me on the floor

precision

like a needle shot bullseye from a hundred feet away

a diamond saw crafting impossible beauty from a dusty rock

like how i know the exact way you like your coffee

how you get out of bed

exactly where to kiss your neck
