Lettuce Bolts

Like a flower blooming at the wrong time,
Like coming too early with a new lover.
Hyphae swells with unprecedented rains
but the fruiting body's too early.
The lettuce bolts in the heat of the sun,
The lettuce bolts in the heat of the sun.
I've given up resisting,
but my timing is off as always
as always
as always

Ursa Major

The moles on your face recreate the constellations,
sometimes I wonder, sometimes I do,
if I'm perceiving the whole of the universe
every-time I look at you.
Ursa Major tilted on your elbow,
Cassiopeia on your cheekbone
If your body slowly dissolved into the cosmos,
could I come too? Would you take me home?
Are you expanding to become the world?
Or does the world shrink to hold you tight?
But I watch you rise in the morning,
and set in the night
As you travel across my field of vision,
a burning chariot in a perfect arc,
I am blessed by your rays shining
on my back, in the dark.
Ursa Major tilted on your elbow,
Cassiopeia on your cheekbone
If your body slowly dissolves into the cosmos,
could I come too? Would you take me home?

You whispered my name
like it was the wind and I
I took it for truth
When you sleep you are
folded like a beam of light
picture of beauty
You told me white lies
maybe you believed them though
I know that I did
You were beautiful
I fell unexpectedly.
you didn't live up
to it.
I see your image
I breathe the words I love you
an incantation
When you say my name
it pierces through my sternum
I think I exist
Liminal and sweet
it felt real for a moment
but illusions fade
You said you liked me
but promptly lost interest when
out of sight, out of
mind
You will consume moons
the way you eat my body.
You will break your chain.
Freezing when nervous
you soften up after dark,
unpeeled and tender.
Burn a candle down
until its wick is swimming
romantic object.
Limerant flower,
will you fruit? I am not sure.
But I am hungry.
