Animals


I have never been so infected
overly biological—alarmed
that a mammal (with fur) could possess me
occupants              o                                 u

the two of us,
locked and chained to
petrified (would
you could you

Fast legs with handles
Unclimb the tree house
Cunningly built with
Killer bear hands

me sweetly) wood; you

Numbers

Latitude and longitude
Your numbers are beautiful
Alphabet of secrets
The ones you'd never tell

Facing a ballroom door
Step foot inside this fire
We get so comfortable
Hour by handsome hour

So sweet, specifically for me
I'll slowly swallow all the sea
Breathe deep and come and visit me
I'm not a sheep, I'm not asleep
This is so soft
I've been dreaming of this moment for so long
My thoughts are rested but my body is weak
