'You part your hair zigzag again, so I can’t ghost you.

I swipe across your scalp & perch on its dandruff—

it snows mid-August & I feel so super special

without my seasonal depression.
Had such small wavelength, no true imagination.' —Nadine Hitchiner

'My dad says a famous gunslinger is our ancestor

I still don’t know if it’s true

I once read the last part of a letter he wrote
before his murder

I wouldn’t be able to write you
anything half as eloquent' —Ngaio Simmons

'Does anyone else know that kind of feeling?
You know the one
where the blood is knotted so close together
it starts fighting itself,
a petition to move across the body, another limb
a different artery,
away from the parts that it finds savage'

Ngaio Simmons, The Dude

'I wish that when you looked up the old west
this was all you found
love sealed in ink sealed in wax
gun parts melted, sweethearts’ promises abound
whites never feeling the urge to build a ship'

'To revive from the second death is to not to be confused
with the revival of Jesus. The body quivers with

electricity. Nerves tingle. Burn marks fester
and bleed. Bacteria crawls into open sores' —Rachel Litchman

'Of course, there are strategies: trick the wizard,
take out the middleman, start a go-fund me, grow

a rich uncle, a relationship with the president, unblock
the buildings, throw the wizard into the fire,

fix the ramps, find the bug, rewrite the program.'

for the death they mocked
my stomach churns a sea tide turns
far right far white storms forewarning'
