am I your Tin lily? sn bonds
close enough to double up: I am

giving lessons to twist-turn smiles
and pulling out my hair in gauzy clumps with
great care in preparation for summer.

I'm all tangled.  Talk to me,
your Aluminum magnolia, al[l] tangled up

in twist-toss dreams where mouths say wrong things
and covers are mountains, the people cold explorers
gasp water, love, and we no longer walk sidewalks to
convenience stores, holding hands.

there, you bought a full set of sixty watercolor
pencils, now I am Steel daisy spring but then he/

you named me a different color
puddled on the ground in melted sun.
slow wait and wake for intersection lights
to walk illegal days along, heel-toe
careful balance on quick-changing sidewalk edges
it's too much. the words at the end, i mean, but i don't know which ones to cut out.

based partly on a dream i had months ago, but it really was a good dream so i won't tell about it.

p.s. listen to castle project. fucking amazing.
