I’m Yr Frog

double elbowed me forgot a line
another one of those
social moments: i want to talk to people
about you being around
being et cetera:
i’m all wrapped up you’ve got
tummyaches: & we’re both starving:
i’m going to try to say everything all over again:
having discovered
in the Twilight years of this peculiar empire
the coffee in yr eyes: the sound of yr devotions
& their etudes
having, mostly by accident, an enchantment
spilling my blessings

ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit

"there is no wifi in the barn...
but it is where you will find the best connection." -- unknown

when i look at you
through a picture on my phone
i feel so lovely

the corner of life
is in a plastic tumbler
culminating us

one stranger, two strangers
withhold an eternal want

to have a chance at
feeling visible once more.

it’s like that movie Avatar.

i don’t ever touch what’s left
and hardly look at you.
