the summer is at its full weight / i stand in the air-conditioned kitchen looking out from the window (why / is it that so much happens at kitchen windows?)

 



the summer is at its full weight
i stand in the air-conditioned kitchen looking out from the window (why
is it that so much happens at kitchen windows?)

they must be the crossroads of
what is happening inside & outside ourselves
a smashed pane of glass away from being someone else entirely

thunder ripples the field outside
the sun ripens in the sky a
decaying peach burst across the clouds

somewhere in the tall grass
a clutch of tick eggs starts to hatch

i want to take my clothes off in front of you / then my skin too / toss it aside rumpled & empty

 

brandon goletzski

i had a dream / of a man from years ago / alone after jerking off. his head
