i need a bomb of my own
you wont know how to disarm.

you need to cut the red wire
or maybe blue? the explosions

ghost is all i need to conjure
and it only haunts.

A Little Bit Off

a fender strat tuned from
a youtube video. i have played
for four months. out of tune.

two pieces of a two puzzles
of the milky way from
two different manufacturers. our edges

dont quite cut into each other
the right way. mismatched
singles tennis match

and i play the net to hit
quick volleys. you stay back and hit
passing shots. just out of reach

ledge i jump to grab with my grip,
slightly wrong so i fall. fractured ankle
leaving me behind.

a snapshot of the forest
from three months ago lies
and the scenery has changed, a mess
of sight. no hummingbird is seen.
a hoot in silence.
