WHAT'S WRONG
if it were to burn blister and disintegrate
what would you have learned what would be your takeaway
a pivot in your plans a divot in your landscape
and uncloudy skies open up
you would never say there's nothing wrong
but you could easily say there's nothing wrong
and if it disappeared buggered off without a trace
would it be so weird would you need to pull a face
a wrinkle in your flag a ragged left-of-center tape
and uncloudy skies open up
you would never say there's nothing wrong
but you could easily say there's nothing wrong
heaven knows you hear it all day long
so you should maybe say it say it now
if it were to burn blister and disintegrate
what would you have learned what would be your takeaway

BLOOD EVERYWHERE
for three days everything came up
nothing stayed down just a shuddering sound
they gave you a test and you might've passed
but they sent us right back into the black
at home i find your favorite show
look in your face look at my phone
down an endless rabbit hole
i'm just pulling a string you never should pull
but you don't notice
and you don't protest
when i say it's time
we get through dinner
and at bath you shiver
and shake until you're dry
you fall asleep too easily
and you breathe in air
that I wish i could see
at dawn i'm camping at your feet
i fetch your cereal bowl
and your father texts me
and the hours scrape along
we play a memory game my memory's strong
so when that call comes
i press that icon
and listen carefully
they want you right back
cause the numbers are bad
but somehow incomplete
the blood just drains right out of me
thick with cells
that i never could clean
waiting in the waiting room
it's just quiet enough for me to review
every surface every spoon
all that you might've touched or maybe consumed
every trace and residue
window at home door in your school
every blessed molecule
where'd it get in what did i do
and down the hallways
there is always
one more turn to take
solutions mix
and the broken get fixed
if they don't fade away
and i'm surrounded
by announcements
promising repair
but slipped or chosen
blood or poison
could be anywhere
it's everywhere
so don't be scared
it's everywhere

TAPS
i shouldn't have gotten my hopes up
like i shouldn't have got my hair did
'cause i missed at least half of their questions
and they dressed like loggers and kids
so now i just shuffle down to the western line
tomorrow's search terms in my head
but i just get so tired of waiting
think i'll walk instead
is there nothing as sad as 4:30
when you haven't been working all day
all the neighborhood bars just start waking up
their specials so humbly displayed
and detergent seeps from their doorways
where taps shine like engines so clear
i can taste the sweet bitters on my tongue
feel 'em disappear
"you can't stay here"
i shouldn't have stepped off that platform
'cause i can't get an answer at home
nor at any dumb sequence i press in
to the bottomless depths of my phone
so now i'll just worry my chip down to splinters
and march back to that baby blue light
i close my eyes and i promise whomever
i'll keep walking by
i won't slow my stride
'til i'm safe inside

UNNAMED STARS
i was watching your giant hands
baiting hooks and tying knots
and opening cans
of your favorite every night
until the overheads took on
a yellower light
once hydrated and amplified
none of us were bright enough
and so you would hide
on the back porch and fall asleep
counting unnamed stars above
how couldn't you weep
so by distortion or a cadet glow
either way that memory kept
a sickening hold
as the seasons scurried by
and i got familiar with the weight
of similar skies
but i never loved those high numbers
not enough to push me under
not enough to never look away
oh no
and i'm sorry you flickered out
but i named one of those poor stars
you worried about
and he's gorgeous as evergreens
and as sure as i was watching you
he's looking at me
so i'm nervous naturally
but that's just something in my blood
i'm looking to clean
