You didn’t read

Stop complaining that school didn’t teach you about the real deal of living — the broken hearts, the strange politics, the empty wallet, the hankering

Ceviche

A piece of meat tells the story/
of inlets and archipelagos,/
where a couple of fins/
have propelled shiny scaled skin/
from the secrets of the depths/
into your mouth.

For Fourth

You disappeared one day./
You took your brilliant words/
and perfectly timed guitar taps/
and the ends of my sentences away./
