all the teeth pulled from my head.
your 10pm visit sustained
a fluid dream. release
dying but not-yet-dead breath—
and what’s next?
suppose mainlined
unchange in currents,
relaxed, sense trust, chest
pain but briefly.
six years old, i asked my dad
why my heart hurt,
described near-emotional sense.
dx palpitations
but i wonder—
your cavalier
privilege of family;
extended hug; accumulate
an anemone grab
of genius love.
shoot my stingers
in rapt yearning
realized & toxic,
gin & tonic,
o, how hope
liberates. today
is our day!
