My apologies! / Your ache cannot be of gold there / Forever an uninvited guest / This city doesn’t carry hand-me-down devastation / Unlike you / Unlike us

Remind me of this city / Of its violent kind of kindness / When the rest of us are stepping out of summer / To a season thrice my age

[Arrival of Love]

Tell me, how do I contain / a joy bigger than me / —even my grief is now looking / for a different place to be.

[An Abandoned To-Do List]

I lived to see you die.

I lived because I knew you’d be dying.

The house isn’t there / the house was never there but I was.

The ghosts in some dreams dance.

My power was that I could build me a city. I could bury you a hundred times. I could light up the sky with one star. I could name everything that was left without one. I could kill my fate with bare hands. My power was that I could write you into being. I could scream you into a void and a body would appear. Which is to say, I could summon you with a tiny breath.
