poem a

I chain wishes on the exterior
glass of a door I open only to
discoveries under the lid of
night. Desire microscopic here,
discovering a lost tissue of
molecules on the tongue. A cat
suddenly on the roof shoots
drops of moonlight. My fingers
run on the keyboard afraid they
won't find the alphabet anymore.

poem b

*I* introduce myself
as a system of longing
*He* shares his taste
for salt and topologies
of skin the largest organ,
he says, is want is a bleeding
poem is a flower made of
flesh butter snow his knuckles
soon burrowing in my cheek
searching
for surrender
