for kaleska

i am big arms and awkward but gentle hands that are trying to hold you drawing soft, swirly patterns on your shoulder we can (both) pretend i'm better at this (than i am) cupping your knuckles in my palm i tried to hold your fingers, but mine started trembling so i had to let you go a primitive murmur scratches in me, and warmth spills over my lips pours from my throat hits the air and frosts over into silk i spin it with my tongue slide it over my teeth keep it moving, light and soft bring it higher if you don't smile my mom used to do this for me her hands were steadier i won't touch your hair, or ask to my fingers will stay slow and thoughtful i haven't shifted positions in a few minutes maybe if i can relax, you can feel safe muscles declenching like they're shifting through a wash cycle are you falling asleep? you could, if you wanted to i wouldn't mind or has this gone on for too long? do you want to stay? i wish i could be more for you

Short poems

Your jaw eclipses my palms, | My animal, my sweetheart. | The black suns retire in the shelter of your eyelids, | My animal, my sweetheart. (2019) Let my bedsheets be white like the walls | So when I pull the covers over me it looks like I’ve been erased (2023)
