the standard transparency

pastboard edges, grass around

the ridges in the snow, what a good

place to hide, what a

good place. a match, dear king, a match.


this white is thin, it doesn’t hide

a thing about my body

or what i want in it, space

for your knuckles. so it’s like what i say.


for once it doesn’t matter

if you like it. if i don’t make it

through the year, if i don’t make it

through the day, strike it, strike.


plant all these little lights in me, spread me

on hills, bury me in bunny holes.

amanda doesn’t like funerals. i

don’t like umbrellas.
