and float above the clouds

heavy gust of rain
tongue tied nerves

blustery clouds in spring
fallout days in summer

a pair of dry lips
lost puppy eyes

suck leeches from my knees
watch glacier bits fall from sugar white pastures

those ways are thawing
melting
watch the drip
let out ragged bleats

this morning I rise with full eyes in bloom
a thick loaf of sourdough

a scrunched up forehead
long legs
wide hips
bloated right now

bear fruit out my eyes
giant worms on fish hooks

all we ever seem to do is wake
our names in our chests
