BERMUDA TRIANGLE

tropicália noire
your first taste of the tradewinds
placebo effect

ALIBI LULLABY

 after a streetfight
I fasten the silver chain
behind your boy neck

SLEEPING BABY

time to pause and place 
a fingertip on each lid
two freshwater pearls 

DOMESTICITY

Conscious Cunt EP
my abandonment fetish
it’s only Tuesday 

WHO’S AFRAID OF TEAL SWAN?

vampire ocean 
spiritual medicine
forehead to the ground

IT’S TOO LATE TO MARRY A RAPPER

pastel and neon
sonnets to the antichrist 
how will I pay rent

BUSINESS TRIP

summer fruit breakfast
I rip open a lychee
and think of my wife 

BOY

Onlyfans model 
telepathically conveys 
throat of an iris 

VALIUM

burial at sea
outside the window black snow 
erases the scene 

ESPLANADE 

a vulgar display
of power—I can turn heads
all the way around
