The Closest Thing to a Love Poem

Original Poetry (2019):

the closest thing to a love poem

in this light I am

dropping words as if

you want them

very badly

again we are made

bare in the middle

of a room filled

with my old drawings

now without a refrigerator

or magnets they flap &

sink into that space of

floor closest to my hip

bone they want to be

read aloud rolled around

in the throat kept warm

under your tongue

particularly
