HEART ROACHES Keep the love ghost Inside her palace body The roaches scatter inside Keep the love ghost The roaches steal my organs I am the one who took SOIL AND ASH “I want to inhale you,” I am his compost, recycled I grow, I am not wasted eternally alive and forever I grow here EPOCH OF ISLAND MIRAGES the hourglass bursts somewhere there’s a beach because radiant sun sizzles shattered and jagged not a muscle moves |
