Sometimes I'm sure there's
candy apple
dripping through my veins
not because I am sweet
but because I am clogged
because your boyish voice is
bittersweet
and I've bitten my tongue
so many times that
the words don't flow quite right and
sometimes I still
forget how to breathe
cause you know the phrase
once bitten
twice shy?
I wish I had been.
My constant desperation for
some sort of
adoration
only wears me down
when the bites build up
I am not an apple
and please don't
sugarcoat me

It is okay to be getting your hair trimmed for the first time in eighteen months.
It is fine to let yourself inflate a sad story and then another,
like pink gum bubbles
In the direction of anyone who will listen.
You can now chew over the last year and a half of your life
from a distance, when you’re at the hairdressers,
after she notices the short patches by your sideburns with an inquisitive look.
You can hold back the tears with relative ease,
as if telling of someone else’s illness,
rolling the grief around in your mouth like a gobstopper
whist her acrylic nails gently graze the backs of your ears.
You can use an entire palm

a retraction of august's horoscope
“aquarius, you have fallen in love with the storm again,”
the august horoscope reads.
it is almost—but not quite—correct.
for the sake of astrological accuracy
it might be revised to read,
“aquarius, you have fallen
in love—” (this part
may remain)
“—aquarius, you have fallen in love
in the sticky heat of summer,
the air as damp as your skin,
heat rising from the tarmac
of this flat swamp town.”
or perhaps, “aquarius,
it will not feel like a storm.
there will be no lightning bolts,
no thunder. there will be no fire
under your skin.”

first kiss
I will be
the rolling waves,
