angels in the lake
I know that when she dies all things beautiful and soft will die with her / all her voicemail time capsules will break open on the corner of the yellow dresser she handed down to me / and her chest will fall on mine / blood in her mouth from biting her tongue will spill down my back / a goddess will always smile / I remember when I almost drowned and she screamed pulled my cold body from the lake and dressed me in warm clothes / she told me there were apple slices in the car / she told me there were angels in that lake /

blackberry honey
your thick honey meets my blackberry-craving tongue / dripping and lovely I’m melting in your palm / suddenly I remember singing in a churchyard / and for a brief moment I worry my sainthood has been abandoned all this time / but when your hand finds home around the back of my neck / liberated tree roots and vibrant green moss growing over the base of my skull / my memories there still with your love and Jesus too / your breath and my breath must be a new song / there is holiness in our hips where two or more are gathered / Raphael came in the middle of the night he told us we haven’t much time / so we hold each other and weep the way only angels can as blackberry honey fills our lungs
