the Collab bird


From last year, at Likestarlings, JMW and Hoa Nguyen doing their collab thing.


***


Posting on the occasion of everybody's sunlit fire-escapes. On the occasion of melting toys. The grainy remembrance of cross-country breathing; the long freeways that fill my body; letters to people & of people. Air, sea, couch. On the occasion of every snowy afterthought being cohesive and still. The occasion of poetry being something we will count in years / something we count by rolling out of bed / rolled over the window panes this morning // counted poems for you in the dimples of our roof.

Happy Birthday J!

the Modern bird


A & B: Beautiful, beautiful the road stretching, birdlike, yawn- / ing from its nest, not all caught up in itself, not googling / itself admiringly, just being its daily self,  how we all ride / its coattails.

the Modern bird


                                                        Everybody loves a martyr in
   blue pajamas, throwing up in her white, white house. Your fault
   her cakes won't rise and birds find the windows violently.

BIRDPILE.


"BIRDPILE" in flight? or
