Landscape with vanquished apocalypse & central air
with all my past & future selves dramatically holding hands along a shoreline
with only snapdragons which are honestly so fucking delightful
with fertility treatment & a sprawling jacaranda tapping my shoulder to say there there
with a million legos under my foot
with deserts only because we used all the water, sorry
with Freud saying the acceptable period of mourning is two years & then falling through a trapdoor
with a field of peach orchids, each one the face of a tiny moon
with my sharps container and each blossomed bruise
with a waterfall or is that a flag
with my semester-to-semester contracts & the will to walk away
with a triple sonnet for sonnet’s sake
with time wrapped around itself again & again
with my legs wrapped around your face & tears in my eyes & you don’t know if I’m happy or sad & I don’t know if I’m happy or sad
