POSE

​my hair hates hurting others my hair swallowed your butter knife but only to incubate it i dreamt that a hawk swooped down to be my new hat please be my barber i don’t want to die with a mullet i dreamt that steam leaked through my neck like i was a sex doll overinflated with machismo i dreamt that politicians were simmering my brain and that’s when the lightbulb split open

SILK

the pelt of rain is your first massage a spider in the shower

absent gods spill forth as graph paper you feel shame to have evolved

without fangs large enough to pierce human skin
