1. Sweet Creature

He painted a picture
of the two of you together.
He wants you dead by his own hand --
that same hand that
weaved together the anatomy of art and that of the living.

He wants to travel the world with you.
He wants keep you in his suitcase for safekeeping --
perhaps, to sprinkle your ashes in a warmer climate
where you'll always be first to see the sunset.

He wants to fix himself one day, but not today.

2. Hometown


My name means something something & return home one day.
It does not describe me at all.

I have been hitchhiking to places I've never been to before
to find somewhere better than right here, right now.
I have not lived here since I was a child, but I remember
where everything dead is buried.

I've talked about it over coffee with a local.
I don't like coffee. It tastes bitter.
It got cold while we discussed how life is
and how everything changes when you close your eyes --

They ask me what it's like to be human and all.
I say it's fine. It isn't. I do not give my name to strangers.

3. On Ambivalence

Is this a fickle thing? Please let me know when you are able.
My voice-box splits in two (I am a tūi on Mondays.
If this is inconvenient to you,
please notify my great-great-great-grandmother —
she is available under the next moon.
Do not be shocked when she speaks without words
and you think you can understand her both well and infinitely).
