1/ ice on the bay, fire in the sky, spiders making homes among flowers, sharing homes for gum & mouthheld suns.

i pray to the mountain shadows to bless my future with awe.

2/ i think i saw god basking in the sunbacked star-

light of my heart. cow print bucket hat with a loose shirt,

Hawaiian & drenched in the world’s spit

hopes. milky beads swirling with the secrets they carry

atoms in time swinging side to side between saliva bubbles, miracles germinating.

3/ nothing is working except your smile. wide-brimmed & heavy with joy.

can’t get enough lost without breath
