was gonna cross myself
take something wasn't mine
had the opportunity and
let it be. before i awoke found
myself reading what i wrote on a stage
touching into the under
blue arm tattoo
dear anarchist dream self
thank you for coming in
line after 48 years all
crosses
#katyamills
they want you they want you to be someone you not they fantasize no intention on realities you fix them breakfast stare into they soul streamin vids fightin jetstream wide open like the canyons the world is hard and wants you too and took you we have lost
#katyamills
drained they was
runnin on empathy alone
clothes tattered
eyes red thoughts
burned black elbows
an knees nicked
tummy grumbles throat
gurgles breath wheeze
please don't leave
me we got all
night don't we?
#katyamills
intervals together we
shared the unforgettable
brevity the building feverish
the long hours waitin...
years later got our wish
all our days twenty
four seven together we
could have killed each
other and then...
we did #katyamills
a hawk fought 4 balance
over the banks of the river
5 times she spoke
4 times he did not listen
it was bound 2 be a great
fall #katyamills
the days could be dizzying
we all got mixed up
it matters
how you put your
self together how fantastic
to solve oneself
like so #katyamills
i gen and then evolved to be gen
life was saturated online
receptive fandoms and such
offline the marble got smaller
and rolled and could only be seen
from a great distance
vanishing
#katyamills
unable to think unable
to speak. mashed and bounced
precisely half ways across the earth
absorbed by some gargantuan feeling
you wrote poems unlike mine
except they was true. watch
over me and i over you
#katyamills
HERE ARE SOME
RECENT REVIEWS
FOR MY BOOK
laced up our finest boots
eyelashes bold
made up real fierce we
rolled out with our knapsacks
to the independent
bookstore
#katyamills
takes silence
thought
space
feeling
reflection
on all the tragedy
you inflicted and when the time comes
destroy the very home obliterate the ego
rebuild it from scratch
and blow the
disparate
minds
#katyamills
they was pushin daisies
all around us
swimmin in shark waters
we was. twenty twenty
pandemic and fentanyl i
got a fightin chance
shoulda pushed flowers 20 years back
my gratitude runs deep. every blade
a forest every drop a
lake every second
a lifetime
#katyamills
they found intimacy
in fighting in yelling being
pinned against a wall
deep beneath the ice they
was yearning
#katyamills
here was okay
but nothin like nowhere
rummaging through shops
4 clothes @ war with capitalism
venmo fugitives
we tore through the firewalls
they constructed
bleedin us for pennies
on the other side
laughing
#katyamills
the fall after the summer
not unlike immolation 4 the cause
was marked by fiery reds
yellow and orange in
the ones who survived
#katyamills
the boy recycled the cans tied 2 the newlyweds
bumper. used the proceeds
toward baseball cards climbed
the aqueduct chewing bubble gum
under a honey moon
#katyamills
i would not be
some rich emmm F
flat posin with a C note
you could
not pay me
enough #katyamills
out on the stones
a friday eve with any verse
tremulous voice
tied back sleeves lips
pursed. all the world let
down her locks
in the arms of her bonny
brakeman
#katyamills
hailed by two string guitars
evocative. we touched our scars we
looked to the stars what
when you hit shore? we prayed
we prayed
into the grid you tore and
the children swore god
damn they
swore #katyamills
they was wanted
on any road traveled
east and south and west and north
an unsparing desire
in some bar
on any street corner
sleeves rolled up
for a fix
#katyamills
