howling gale, torn up You, rushing to race the moon Kiss bloody claws, soft
By Melissa Ingoldsby3 years ago in Poets
spin dream dreidel, spring Dandelion bracelets, fall I lost you Baba
babbling, pink foam From her subscription drink, dead Timer run out, jog
I picture you, my Moon-Muse, Milky, cream-eyed, sloshed across the silver river You painted that slice of heaven crimson
hold up, can’t pay for your bill Or the other paradigm shift: “We can make it just fine with this little amount of money.”
I made a portrait out of your squeaky, sweet, beautiful voice, I made it run colors so wide and loud I drained it and pulled out the yellow
lightning, you come up from the ground Like a rare flower Muse-Eyes, dangle
greased up, the hottest day of the summer I was thinking why was this longitudinally-mounted 3.0-litre engine kicking on me—-
hold me tight, my tumors growing I feel it inside My glowering black water showering My heart with tightening Hold me tight, I’m like a child

is lonely in a look? In a Sunday afternoon Lingering waiting for your returned envelope Stamped and ready to open Yet my steps toward the mailbox is stifling
