don't cut your hair
i know you'll still climb trees
i felt future in the patterns you traced on my knees
now i'm listening to a cd that the old you made me
and it's not shaking me in the skin the way you used to
don't cut your hair
prepare myself for your thought disorder
i will write the words in sequential order
i think that our feet are still bleeding
from when we jumped out my window
i'm still glad i did though
i'm still glad i let go of your hands
don't cut your hair
little ringlets making piles on the floor
i can't see you anymore
you're doing fine

paper chain

the weight, the measure
the angle of this place
she's pulling you down, dragging
shadow puppets take up space
on the walls of your bedroom
i melt on your front porch
we talk to be talking
unintentional discourse
so it goes
so it goes
she splits her tongue
she says you'd never know
that i've been sleeping over faultlines
from the way bricks hit my head
today has been the hardest since i got up out of bed
so it goes
don't leave so hard
we read different colored novels skip to
different favorite parts
but space isn't the issue
it's the phrases in between
so paint over it in whitewash
scrub the chalkboard clean
and so it goes
don't leave so hard
it's an
in and out loop, paper chain, paper chain-smoke blowing steam
i still love the space above your ears
and that place behind your knees
so it goes

grocery store

tomorrow morning is glowing orange
i am made of rubber bands
break high school curfew
outside the venue
i am clean of dirty hands
and you tell me
that weighing yourself in worth quantitively
like grocery store peaches is too easy
i am an allover ache
so lost inside this awful weather
how are you so together
hook line and sinkhole
try harder to control
this constant need for constant movement
and the way that
you always find my hand when you're asleep
it always wakes me up and ruins me
i am an allover ache
