how to stay alive (alive)
4 Decinstead of being ashamed you have
no damn money
you could try to extract your uncanny
opportunist
drink deeply
the luck
say fuck
money
if everyone ain’t got
(heart)
instead of making small talk
remember something funny you
wrote
about wanting to get into
falconry
tell them your dream of
befriending a bird
more intelligent than
yourself
say screw
(shame)
that
dark dank sinkhole
push forth from
that foul earth
call yourself royalty
perforate your skin
with hope
raise your
lungs to the light
sing
freedom
mister black
7 Novi write you love letters
attach them to the
steam birds
i watched fly from
the window in the
wake of your shower
the love letters don’t make it
all the way to the battlefield
but your birds of intimacy
always answer to my
whistle
bird bones redux
3 Octit could be the
rest of our lives
that we are circling
that soft cave
i built from my
own rib cage
moss from
my own heart
there all of the
noise hovers outside
insect fury
inside we are honey
against one another
you will insist
that you were
maple syrup
when you read this
years from now
by then my hunt
will be over
yours to
begin
the day you
finally
train the bees
