 leisure consultant 

well well we made 
smoke rings w our mouths
cried abt now bc 
thats when it was
i should tell y’all a tale
whats dragged behind the car
we drove all the way
on a donut wheel
i dont wonder how late it is 
big sky tells me all i need to know
and thats not much
but love hits hardest before a storm
out on the prairie looking
for an lonesome oak
i say thats me but nobodys around
to listen to my voice shaking
so hard the ground splits open a mile
ill let you know what i found
when i get back into town
but dont wait for me
i might take my time
maybe not
who knows

tree poem

i asked her 
where does
the wind 
come from
and where 
does it go

but she laid there
on her back
in the sun
quietly
for a long time

somethin abt it IS nothin
rings tru/ fish breathe what yall breathe
a gallon of crude oil/ read an email
and well that was generous + kind of 
the time it takes me away
from here where home was until
we made it a house/ painted shell
emptied by agreement disguised as love
gently pushes our bodies into a flame
