i keep looking up for your face in the stars but constellations have only ever looked like spoons to me     by Stephen Michael McDowell


_____________________



we were here, together, yesterday


there is a memory of when you smiled
and kissed me
the once, before
those after times,
and that memory happens only in me
and feels like a burp
no wait, a creek
in a forest of farts
hold on, of a dream thing

and i am cool air on a calm lagoon of thoughts of you
and am somehow also a furnace,
immobile and on fire about you,
a star bubble, asking the thought in itself
when can we try out that thing with your butt
