fuck you, god, is a prayer<\/strong>

a prayer is what you pay attention to
jonny shows up in that liz phair song,
faye webster song, adrienne lenker song,
now this marie howe poem
prayer to glimpse a winter lover\u2019s summer fits
to watch the euro final for tenderness between perspiring
men with glazed donuts for pecs
my love language is nipple clamps & googling you
if you’re nowhere there, i’ll love you even more
prayer to suck you off at the met in modern art
i am not speaking, i am perfecting how to speak
purgatory of prayer, aimlessness, vices exhausted
prayer for other highs: a word defamiliarized
discovering copy & paste at the age of 9
or twerking in church, \/ I outperformed the candles<\/em>, a la roy guzm\u00e1n
ash says, my intestines do the work & every day my anus delivers<\/em>
or that god wants me to eat more burritos
which promise a beautiful bowel movement the next day<\/em>
prayer to us propped up by pills: bupropion medikinet elvanse promethazine
prayer to recalibrate without ‚em
prayer to not nick my clit trimming pubes
or bruise my nose under her clit
prayer to stop eating hard-boiled eggs ravenously over the sink
people who floss believe in the future
i was urged to commit to life by a witch on youtube
when ash pulls a scroll out of her bloody vulva, it\u2019s a prayer
it\u2019s cold with the fan on but hot without it
prayer for anxious-avoidants
i\u2019m worth vacuumed floors
it\u2019s so dumb i have to say it
not have to but get to
& that is the prayer
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sandbar<\/strong>

you should see how
ravenous i am

without you, god

a baby humpback
washed ashore
thrashing
with fuck-tons
of visible scarring

in the qur\u2019an
heaven
is beneath

mother\u2019s feet
yet she will not
admit me

assalamualaikum
may peace be unto you

do i have
a poem
or a binge
in me tonight

both
have promised
heaven
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if the average person has 40,000 thoughts in a
day<\/strong>

the addict has 4 thoughts 40,000 times.
which is to say, above-average.
which is to say, clouds.
four-track mind.
thought-museum.
numb confused for love.
sometimes all I want are
beautiful things
to shiver to.
i should just live in a museum.
after the show our hearing
is numbed and we
call it love.
it is cloudy, but
it is love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
