a paper cut
while exploring humanity
the world is salt
but poetry helps
as the city disavows me
with fragility
and precision

Small love messages 
To participate in the daily kitsch 
Fascist but beautiful 
Assuming infinity exists is inadequate
Better to take advantage of loss while it is available

Sorting through abusive mornings:
-Occasional butterflies to curse
-Few memories that will erase themselves later
I breathe instead of breakfast
A soothing world of trial and error awaits us
Until death opens up the shape of the bones

pre bus lipstick 
to water the nothingness

estrangement
(sweetened)
with opened bridges
loss is so unpleasant, we want it
with limited ambition
the clocks move
estrangement
(rented)

Operating from a withheld safety
In the intimacy of extinct music
Some argue for due process
The moments of useful exile
With its mild discrimination
And abrupt orgasms --

Searching for one's own bones
In artifacts scattered
Over multiple bodies
This is to await constructive feedback
Upon failed intimacy
Split this Korean dish with me
Then complement it with sadness
This hope is dire
And it needs the war skills
Acquired over years of poems
