a frigate's spiral ascension into...
call it work call it shaken call it please
and oh god who cares all that half-brain asleep between wulst and worsted signals
it's day down here
or radios in the johnsonian sense
to be asleep and flying
sometimes for years
it means that it means
and we on our helixed way...
call it shirk call it waken call it whatever oh god please

blue lobsters/your eyes
I dream of blue lobsters as in
I am looking in your eyes
Somewhere space is silhouetting
Your body I want it
To be a gentleness
Your breath giving shape
Around you yours your hands
In whatever movement
quiet clouds of jellyfish
Pulse the silence of your proliferations therein
