Haven’t been in love in ten months
Stopped cutting my hair over the bathroom sink
A lifetime in a hummingbird feeder
And these days I leave scraps scattered round the porch
Because it gives me something to focus on
I wanna pulse with photosynthetic light
(A city garden creeping out from the pavement)
When I misuse my body, leave it face down in the sun
I wanna drench the earth with exuberance
(A substitute for the American landscape)
When I fail, I’ll sink into divided sleep
Where my desires read as snow on the screen
I walk on someone else’s legs
I call out from the depths of grandeur
And it always has the same effect
As when the smoke alarm goes off
And it’s never gonna make any sense, no it’s never gonna make any sense
On an orchard, my shirt unfastened
I am content with a furrow to my mouth
In my dream skin cutting up coupons
I’m not living, just burning through surrogates
