a warren of what I haven't said

dancing around a Connecticut kitchen
listening to Devendra Banhart and making bacon.

I text Alyson, who is probably sleeping
with RBF right now,
because she can't help it.

can't see the future; it's fog, just.
the horror of such love.

what we say to thee,
listening to what the shells tell us,
taken apart at the mollusk.

need the want,
want the need.
