INTRODUCTION

she laughed w/ a poof of hurricane

season sea

sunny my darling my roughneck needs

i don't sleep in the dark

or push me in any active volcano

to not awake i am in this dreamburn

where i don't hear you pounding

heart of a terrible storm

rip away sparkle i can't swim in fire

i can't smile the way your nothing

makes my hold-together seem easy

slow smolder 

what is shining in my plucky lids

drip shutters down my precious stones

a door to the howling

i can't find my pulse when i am not alone

and i am in this galaxy

you maybe too

there are tiny explosions

planets no one will ever know

that i name after you

and i miss them and always have

even as their deathglow

passes through my future

you're singing is my magic

or bake enough beauty

to fill the hole in me

what rises

when my knees kick high in air

each step in place

who takes me

when every lightning burn

zaps the oxy from my lips

would you kiss me if i 

were nothing

the way i vanish

smoke is not my first love

i found fog in the city

it drove me mad
