the rain that fell in love with the person in the summertime in the city

my one and dearest, i will lash against your windows tonight
hoping you haven't the peace of mind to shut me out.

curling your fingernails into the cracks between your floorboards, i imagined you were waiting for me
my one and dearest, let me wet your hair and slick the skin of your belly
let me feel you in all the corners of the lush green planet.
i illuminate myself under streetlamps,  hope that your gaze will find me something more than comforting
hope to be a force of nature worth noticing,
not to hit pavement and diffuse into the sky like dust again

no matter how many angels ride on my back, you are extraordinary, you are visceral, you have an ambiance.
you are corporeal, soft-bellied and slim-boned,
and i am creeping past the seal binding your windows in the night,
making dewdrop halos on your fuzzy bright head.

I love it more than words. If only I were a good performer.

Here are two of my favorites:

like movies or this cover of 'creep' or the fact that everything is strange because she keeps touching my hand even after i told her i'm i love with you and it's not going to change even though you and i are so fucking sensible

god i don't even know if i'll be able to paint

god, though, it feels good-
just that we three all could lay there spread-eagled like
the stickiest strain of marijuana
and i didn't need to think, withdraw my legs from where they brushed
up against both of yours. and the futon smelled like adventure
(maybe come, i guess you two were fooling around on it earlier)
but it didn't even matter with our torsos all pressed together
not sex
nothing like that
i was just warm, and i think you might both have cared.

i made some amazing friends and the other night we watched a movie and laid on top of one another like it was the most natural thing in the world and i could have cried, it's been so long
