"in retrospect" and whatnot


hey its bekah, i forgot to say bye in the land of internet so i'm pirating luke's beautiful writing for a quickquick minute to spit out a poem


i think you would like

the sounds people make

sometimes the sun was

inside me & it was good



the hot blood thing

like Butterflies

in earwax

who took shits wherever they

wanted took the Beast

to the roof which was

fingertips of children

Bladed-pupils Nothing but

the singing mountain between us

A house of monks throat-pore

with paper-kites for lungs. Houses

stuffed in their Holes with

Newspaper. it hurts. Awake. Reckoner

spells made of dust. slow. Hello. to turn



to the eyes of Lions &

become water

slick thud down

the stones to

a house made of candles &

the shadows steal u for a joke.

Nose picker, Love

Medicine

for the women who fly

backwards on broomsticks. you will call yourself back from stone soup

"u know i told him

feel free

& tings

like

that"
