Church
something like a milky trace of a cold wet glass on an oak table

while I'm walking around church

thinking this hurts

not to be everywhere at once

your babys mouth is open

from the side the light shines through it like a sideways v

me, I'm angry, practicing curling my eyelashes in your magnifying mirror to pass the time 

in your house for some reason

Shop Owner/Medicine Shop

looks like a medicine shop

usually better from far away

the owner of maybe an incense store

with the pen in his pocket looks at me

for such a long time I’m pretty sure he

just can’t speak

on the sidewalk I'm pulling my scarf over my nose

Three Women 

"We don't like the twins"

Taylor

I was 15 when I got crushes
on all the drug addicts and delinquents
on the snowy farm

you were also 15,
addicted to coffee and cigarettes

and building a cabin

at your rehab program

I thought about you

while I did my homework
in California

high school bf sort of 

Haven’t seen you in a century

wonder how you changed now

did you know who I really am now

did you know it

couldn’t even show it

to my mom.
The letters you mailed me

wish you hadn’t,
the DVDs, 
the facebook messages
