Going to Winter Jam with My Fellowship Group Who Only Befriend Their Pasts & Everyone in Them<\/p>\n
I press my spine into back porch, snow-snakes
\nspindling on dry avenue, a windscape. I try
\nto lock the door behind me to a house that is not mine.
\nWithin there’s the stale mingling of fuck & cheap
\nlight linen & friends I don’t want anymore. I cop out
\nthe shakes until one,
\nwhere they all exit tailoring a stream of hugs & love & God blesses.
\nI tell them I went to a show over the winter in town
\nwhere kids bore the heavy mauve of knuckle & mosh
\non their skin. They just go to their arena worship concert.
\nI stare at single tiles long enough that the vapid scuffs
\nlook like rain swung by wiper blades. They praise air & light
\nthe way I fight the air. Maybe my parents hate-fucking is
\nthe only resurrection of myself I’ll ever know.
\nI’m trying to find joy without my cardinal senses,
\n& not taste words or & hear the tingle of jugdment
\nover my shoulder. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
