many-eyed loved my many-eyed love tell me did it burn did it burn when you came feather boa burlesque offensive do you dance like that baby? tell me do you dance? did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

mask up no one will recognize the peach is poisoned i post a picture decked out on instagram glitter on high cheekbones i want to make you up i must have made you up smash the windows— smash the walls— no more masquerade i want to smash it all.

silk scarf so gentle wrapped around waist wrapped around wrist the soft animal of my body loves what it loves i do not have to walk on my knees (i choose to) you do not have to walk alone. (you choose to) this is my place in things. tell me your despair & i will tell you mine. i could die & decay in these hands. the soft animal of my body loves what it loves. *this poem is made largely of lines from mary oliver's poem, "wild geese." it is one of my favorite poems to this day, and though i wrote [pansy song] before she died, it only feels fitting that she is present here. mary, i hope you're resting easy wherever you are, and that you don't mind i ripped you off for a poem about a boy.*

if you ride your bike at sunrise go to the farmer’s market and buy a bouquet. if you want the blinds closed stay in bed with me a while. if you write a poem think of me and make it a pink poem. if you go to the library, watch the light & lie down where it’s brightest. if you love, keep loving.

about

i wrote these poems all at once in january 2019. i thought it would be fun to record them as an ep because they're so short. i hope you enjoy them.
