i want to love to stay

 

the world comes in

reaches like a leggy sprout 

dad gets up, makes best

I want to change my place in change 

lift the rock to see the worms

city intestine secret night

crack on, place my hand

on every crown 

bleed over to touch 

the weather that changes 

the mother that changes 

the inquiry that changes 

dad showers, goes to his liar

melody says “love you” and 

leaves the house

I want to laugh like water

I want to rematriate

time to longing and 

longing to time

dad gets coffee, feels sun

schedules vacation

I want to love

to stay
