Questions I regret asking, answers I only recognize too late.
Moons in you, miles in you.
The solitude with you.
A loss that cannot be categorized every day.
Men who hoard clues, who don't know it's only a game.
The new therapist observes that Dad was better at politics than I am, which I did not know.
Tracing her skin, collarbone to shoulder, then pulling her close, her body thin and hard, always reminding me of olive trees in the hills above the Greek village where she was born.
What do your feet know that the rest of you does not?
Two dead foxes in five days, I have forgotten how to end things.
Sharing a joint on the back porch, knees touching, starlight in the nearby lilac.
Long gone dogs coming less and less to mind.
What is observed at a distance, what is identified because of how it draws nearer.
Cosmic gift-givers.
The mushrooms are still here I say to which Jason replies maybe, maybe not.
Writing in this constrained, in this mythologized way.
We live differently, what does this mean?
Was I sent away or did I get lost or did somebody find me and teach me a secret I am only just now remembering to share?
Icarus wakes up drunk, no idea where the church is.
Going down on her in a Boston hotel, how she slammed the mattress with her open hand coming.
This map you keep insisting belongs to me, for real, I don't think it belongs to me.
