I could feel hope
traveling backward
to find us,
to whisper into our chests
There will be music for you
one day.

you can put on believing

"[...]Was stabbed twice. Laughed then
at the corrupt ceiling in a Demoral dream
and followed an elk to a shale-strewn
precipice. Was dictated to by
an untraceable voice. Made a choice.
Chose a jaunt to the red horizon."

I perch on the concrete in so many hues of brown overheated,
watching him dance
in white linen sweatpants and bare chest with birth
and death in his movements.
Citron, figs, and papaya on his tongue. He rattles and pumps.
My organs shift and swing
toward the sun, a black orchid, singing.
