swollen seconds

this line can take us to anywhere
and his is he first time i have remembered you
in that i need to less, these days
uncertain: potential unfolding
across national, emotional, dimensional lines

sit up straight and be quiet
listen listen yes to the vibrating fearlessness
to the snap of your eyes

trees and peaches

still and wanting, heart removed
beating through your stomach, birthed in blood
drooling dripping through dampened laundry

this is reflected off of photographs
birthed in blood
and signing autographs for twinkled eyes
