Notable lines
you fit into me
like a hook into an eye
— untitled
A different room, this month
a worse one, where your
body with head
attached and my head with
body attached coincide briefly
— "They travel by air"
A truth should exist,
it should not be used
like this. If I love you
is that a fact or a weapon?
— untitled

only alive & stuck with it
— untitled
We are hard on each other
and call it honesty,
choosing our jagged truths
with care and aiming them across
the neutral table.
