I Made a House of Houselessness
I made a house of houselessness, A garden of your going: And seven trees of seven wounds You gave me, all unknowing: I made a feast of golden grief That you so lordly left me, I made a bed of all the smiles Whereof your lip bereft me: I made a sun of your delay, Your daily loss, his setting: I made a wall of all your words And a lock of your forgetting.

CHAPTER ONE: CONDENSATION
i felt you before i saw you. i didn’t know what i was expecting, but i sensed you gathering around me like some people feel the rain in their bones. i didn’t see you walk up to me, you were just there. it was the first time i thought of you as fog.
the first time we kissed, i pressed into you and worried that i might lose my balance, so i leaned a hip...

First Turn to Me...
First turn to me after a shower, you come inside me sideways as always in the morning you ask me to be on top of you, then we take a nap, we’re late for school
you arrive at night inspired and drunk, there is no reason for our clothes we take a bath and lie down facing each other, then later we turn over, finally you come we face each other and talk about childhood as soon as I touch your...

Apartment 2B
I think my neighbor is dead, or maybe I don’t know what to do with a neighbor so quiet compared to the ones that came before her, like that couple who found a reason to fight every day, and I laughed the day I heard the man cry out about the black eye his girlfriend gave him, and when I saw him the next day down in the basement doing laundry I wanted to ask: hey man, what happened to your...

This Is Not an Elegy
At sixteen, I was illegal and brilliant, my fingernails chewed to half-moons. I took off my clothes in a late March field. I had secret car wrecks, secret hysteria. I opened my mouth to swallow stars. In backseats I learned the alchemy of guilt, lust, and distance. I was unformed and total. I swore like a sailor. But slowly the cops stopped coming around. The heat lifted its palms. The...
