For Chad

i am not dead to you
and your highlighter yellow feet
follow the paths i cut
into theoretical forests of sound
as your ukulele strums
tumble from tilted desks
and make contact with the ground
ready to dash into the future
as a soldier for truth and joy

For Katie

you are not built like a barbie doll
thin-legged, glassy stare, perfectly pink lips
real women are fluid, not stiff mis-creations
we are soft, pliable, motherly, strong
embrace the form you were given
and accept nothing less
when the howling he-wolves turn to you
hungry
you deserve better
you deserve better than this
embrace the form you were given
and as your mind grows, blossoms
challenged by the words, shapes, numbers
we shove into your eyes
remember, to fight is wisdom
to rise above the glassy stare, anorexic hips
is the glorious form you were given
so accept nothing less

Libation

i hide a part
inside of me
an ember
dying
i whisper.
my love falls
into its glow
and flickers to life

daytime, nighttime. visions.

perhaps there were
connections
as it were. the doctors
called them links or
lapses in the structure of
my. reality-
but i’d like to think that
these hallucinogenic ghosts

of my own private wonderland
were a step below imagination
and a notch above serene
