little Us
under little Os
and a little cat
and a little kitten
with wet mouths

inverse v

goes up from my legs to my chin

regular v sits at the bottom of my torso

and at the bottom of my head

I am the alpha and the beta

the pink like an eraserpink

a lifter like  a logmachine

a god like a golden tapestry

a unicorn like a plate glass window

a forest like moldy picklejar

 my long blonde hair

 the sunlight as it plays. 

 the moonlight as it makes me glow. 

 hear the mockingbird and the robin sing to me. 

 be a mermaid! 

 live in this palace of white marble. 

 the green green plants! 

 my sweetwater swimming pool.

 my fragrant grass. 

 hairless body underneath my sheer blue gown. 

 my glittering sky of stars, 

 the rich soil in the ground. 

You are making up your breath

it is fake. 

you make up your food

 at five o clock 

and expect me to eat it

meatballs? 

 fauxballs.

say the word 

and it's yours

and the sky said 

i won't take more

than your breath

and sound 

and i won't take more

than the rain

even the mountains say

that the sun is enough

but I am a world 

and a wind

and i know 

and the words say 

all of breath 

and the food 

is made up

and being independent

like going and buying 

my own 

red fruit

for doing one's own pavement

once out on the road

it's hard to come back home

it's hard to know a bunk

when you're an angel

studying the arrangement of flowers

and the breeding of chickens

and how to feed a pet

is as hard

don't knit. 

johnny walked 

all through the woods 

picking little berries 

and stepping on soft grass

he came into a clearing 

and read his own palm

it said to go up and fork 

and then to go down and fork

but not like a pitchfork

like a meat cutting fork instead

so he went down and split

banana split

split wood 

apple sundae

and then he went up

and split

a whole in the skye
