it is a form of mothering / to hurt yourself / rather than others

anjing my mother calls you. / how dare you defy what god has given you?

I want to talk to you about awe / what it means to turn / yourself over

I have wasted these curses on minor disappointments.

retracing frowns is how we forego boundaries, to chase greener passports.

When we raise our hands now, the air is flush / with vacancies.

in the epoch of biodiversity dwindle is a vestigial ritual.

After I call the cops to ask for a protective order / I read about the girlfriend of a serial killer.

Girl is attacked / in a park near home, and / before running, is called / crazy bitch.

Today my friend is late / 9 a.m. a cold spell / I go buy a coffee / from a nice coffee shop
