Today is supposed to feel important
so I am reading emails
saying useless things
my automatic response says
busy containing multitudes probably
well it is twin season after all we pick wild
beach strawberries and get eaten alive by wild
beach mosquitos and then make
the mistake
of asking
what’s next
with our hands
knotted bug
welted and wild
berry stained
my eyes got drenched
seeing you off
not because I am sad
because I am terrified
and it is awesome!
