secret poem 03:19
Girl in a green bikini top fishes for small pills in a sugar bowl. ties him with a leash, nails him to the wall. “You stay here.” She sings to him, He’ll sleep, leans into and she’ll go out, lie belly-down in a dead garden’s dirt, find a colony of ants. She rises to her knees, up for air, shudders, remembers sets out cans inside the door frame Silver and rust. Wears a white smock, and sits down on the rug. She was walking through the house all dirt-colored feet, counted—one, two head bobs—

Drop acid in the car /Pick it up/ Night never interrupted by You need care You take it Front porch Sit in my bassline /Bzzz, bzzz/ gives you gender Let’s play but I bring the dark side If we climb /birds and snakes as steps/ if we stop in Brooklyn if we talk strategy again /I’m climbing down the dark basement steps. Pitch black, then eyes./ Third eye’s hiding in her underwear Sun rising spills DNA Open window taunts a silver airplane Women won’t let men, say they have to learn I run my fingers through your hair isn’t castration, only a mouth Rumi said /There’s no room for lack of trust, or trust/ Car ride through mtns Held my hands, pulled mouth down to floor My body next to Sara’s I could be unbreakable, 87mph Stand above me angel, spirit, beautiful mystic Look at me like I have it coming I’m no ghost, no vision can’t be no small, little, lost bird

kid 01:33
I'm coming out of coma.  Cookie.  Cookie your boots are hurting me.

     But I wasn't kept in jars.  I wasn't convinced we'd suffer.

     So Bunny you never got me and Cookie you never really got me either.

cinderella 02:43
Honey, I come to you. Honey, with everything I’ve got. Peel me till I’m small enough. For you. You require broken birds and small bones. I suffer your love along with myself. Honey, give me your lungs. I’ll keep them lonely. Close your eyes until I can help you see. “Oh Cinderella, you so fine. I found your shoe, I threw it in the bonfire.”

low g 04:04
She stops breathing. She could breathe anywhere. Why here? Each person’s reading me, she thinks, when fever waits too long to come. White stars sound miles from us bathing in the heat. Her body plays one long note— Low G. Only the planet left, its long vibrations. Her viola had fallen on a rock. The dark wood looked ill in the color of the dirt. Sirens rose and fell. Black night came to Co. Rd. 25.
