The girl in sociology with crystals in her ears with her back to the teacher, bent and penning down her fears, or maybe she writes poetry in long straight inked out lines or maybe she writes stories, maybe she works nonspecific wordly designs
I don’t know her name or age but she’s next to me right now, her hair is short, she wears glasses, she’s always looking down and flipping through looseleaf paper clipped together, the table’s hardly strong enough to hold it.
I wonder what she studies yeah I wonder what she thinks, I wonder what it sounds like when her poems live in speech, I wonder what she’s doing here, I wonder what she wants, I wonder would she talk to me or how I’d come across.
Would she think I was a poet if she saw me typing now, would she think I was strange if she found out I watch her scribble down a diary, I watch the crystals in her ears, is she learning sociology, is she even really here or is she somewhere else, oh maybe I could go, our backs turned to the teacher and our faces towards the road.

Cloudy
There is something worse
than writer's block;
it's when the words come in
through the heat,
through the loneliness,
or the sheets with
writhing contentment.
It's when the words are right
in your head
for paper or someone else,
and all I can mutter is that
my head hurts-
and I need to go to sleep.
Literature
city drowned clean
birds fly bluer before a hurricane,
wings sharper, the bricks neater.
one train is always longer than the
other. i cried about it. the saturated
city, droplets of colour caught on
tape & rewinding, cups me in its
palms, i am a bug on its window,
imagining all of it underwater &
people clapping in a silent film,
the last dying bubbles curtsying
on their lips, for their marble town
the white skied & terrible atlantis.

Fire, Water, Air, Earth
I once worshiped a fire god,
a man who wrapped himself in
flames and brimstone armor.
I burned myself trying to touch his heart.
He loomed above me and
no matter how high I reached
I was only grasping smoke.
I once worshiped a water spirit,
a man so elusive, running his own
course, even when it ran away from me.
His heart ran through my fingers.
He was cool to the touch, as
refreshing as rain, and cleansed me
for the brief time he allowed me
to swim in his pond.
I once worshiped a djinn,
a man of the air, whom I never saw
or touched, only felt in my lungs.
He sustained me, kept my own heart
beating, though I did nothing for h
