NO SNAKE OR CUREa deluxe bunker a fake suburbia under flamingo summoned and summerdone getting your hope in the bloodsuckers crushed between pages these poems devoid of cicadas the house on the lane filled with stained glass and red-bearded frackers. I tried to be nice, let you know they were starting the witch-hunt paisley bodysuits and soft teenage palms black knee-socks I’m backing away-- When the California sun began to take my hair I pulled it to platinum planned nights alone days in the grey bedroom with pills. He said he’s become the corpse-flower concubine the hopeless hanger-on his home a long closet. We got off the bus in workboots swung around the tavern missed the parade. Food wasn’t worth it.

I cut duct tape keep breaking in my boots I seal my friends and cape away like the bad old days. I thought I’d find solitude in a black and white plaid apron among consenting adults in plastic suburbia and dark slot machines. The recipe wanes and I sleep, don’t burn leaves. The clouds are too big. Fleas love for warm bodies. The clouds knock my teeth out. I just want to be lipstick suede and surface and maybe the birds use my bush for a nest before I descend to the underground bunker. ✱✱✱
