Ablutions

He kneels on the bathroom floor
to clip his fingernails straight into the toilet.
Imagine his bent head, the concentration, the bright
metallic snip like a speckled thrush tapping
a snail against a stone.

Of all the lovely things about writing, the best is when someone you don’t know says they love a poem you’ve written. It’s food for the heart ♥️

them: how do you write a book

me: it’s just like a lemon tree growing a lemon

the lemon:
a mutant lemon with a rind that is warped and huge that has been cut in half to reveal a spiderweb of fruit and pith and additional rinds

Summer is coming no matter what.

Strawberry Moon
Matthew Dickman
Strawberry Moon Matthew Dickman It felt like the whole world exhaled really fast like being punched in the stomach. Every song was about you. I'm not kidding. Just like in really bad songs and now I can't listen to anything because I'm like a fuzzy bumblebee bouncing off all these stamens, flicking them with my wet chin and pretending it's your stomach, honey, honey, it feels like I'm never going to be OK and summer is coming no matter what. Summer looks at me, shakes its head and says fuck you, you should have prepared for this, you should have been a father but now you're like a can of dog food and only the dogs are excited but you and I know that's only because they don't know better, that's only because they're pets and have been beaten with the daily paper they are trained to bring inside and lay at the big hairless feet of their masters. Lay. Lie. I only ever wanted you to tell me to sit. And now more than ever I'm going to die, and that's on me I know, I know that's my deal, that's my fault, that's what they say, and they should. I keep praying it's only summer talking, that it's only the dogs barking, I keep looking at houses we could live in like someone shot in the head and asking the people screaming around him if he has something on his face, he just can't figure it out, dumb beast, gone but not really even knowing he's gone.
