Can she get any better?
Can she get any better?
today you are far away.
in your apartment, the candles are unburned
without you to set them afire.
your books are unopened
for want of your hands to splay them,
make them needed
the steady pulse of your answering machine
its small electric heart
waits for a stroke of your fingers to coax forth its voice
today i am the one-hundered watt lightbulb
in your kitchen
gone dark.
come back.
make me glow.
turn me on.
— Daphne Gottlieb, 3,000 mile poem (via rockwriteon)

Your eyes are just
like bees, and I
feel like a flower.
Their brown power makes
a breeze go over
my skin. When your
lashes ride down and
rise like brown bees’
legs, your pronged gaze
makes me eyes gauze.
I wish we were
in some shade and
no swarm of other
eyes to know that
I’m a flower breathing
bare, laid open to
your bees’ warm stare.
I’d let you wade
in me and seize
with your eager brown
bees’ power a sweet
glistening at my core.

My love <3

in the room where you sleep; dead man’s bones.
