red drips
mottling a collarbone
flush with sex
hair dabbed in
crimson
like paint brushes
and i keep quiet
until
i spatter her lip
ruining the moment

Kelly tells me tonight
Erik leaves for Minnesota
this Sunday. Immediate relief,
exuberance. Later deep pain
registers regrets. What have
I done? His
wavering like weather.
Inconsistent.
A rare shimmer.
Still, the clouds;
still, the rain.

Whenever I come here, it comes to this:
My trembling hands caress the wound we inflicted
on the ribs of the secret oak on the 8th of May.
Crushing flowers with our backs
in the tumultuous years of adolescence,
I wonder where you’re on your back now
and who’s getting to know your nature.
Our branches have been hacked apart
with the nomad axe of your Lieutenant father.
We did our P.T. under a blanket of shade,
with no one around to bark orders
or make us push up when we wanted to stay down.
You dug out trenches with bare hands,
ripping across my back with periwinkle nails.
I wish you’d never cut them
so I could still be a part of you.
1 tbsp. imagination powder
2 cups new blood
1 bottle JFK Inaugural Sauce
1 pouch (16oz.) Mars Bits
1 large stalk of NASA
3 cups money
In a large bowl, combine the new blood, imagination powder, and 1
tablespoon of money. Mix well, and set-aside to infuse.
Strain the moons from the JFK Inaugural Sauce, and drop in the Mars
Bits. The moons may be discarded or saved as an appetizer. Bring the
sauce to a low boil, stirring occasionally until Mars Bits dissolve.
With a sharp knife, remove the dead, brown leaves from the top of the
NASA. Cut the stalk into three equal pieces and set into a 9×9 baking
dish (coating the bottom and sides with internet oil first for best
results).
Check the infusion. The imagination powder should be dissolved into
the new blood, and the money should have stopped floating. Pour this
infusion over the NASA, cover with the remaining money, and place in
the oven at 800°C for 5-10 years, checking every few months to baste
the stalks with liquid from the bottom of the pan. If the liquid dries
up, make another batch of the infusion. Remove from the oven when the
internal temperature reaches 227°K.
Serve with the JFK sauce. Makes enough for an American generation.
