cut poem<\/strong><\/p>\n

when I think
\nof you<\/p>\n

I am happy<\/p>\n

anxious<\/p>\n

like
\na
\nhurricane
\nor
\na
\nflood<\/p>\n

wreaking the
\nland with
\nmy sea<\/p>\n

doing
\nas
\nI
\nplease<\/p>\n

laying
\ndown<\/p>\n

when I think
\nof
\nyou<\/p>\n

sad boy<\/strong><\/p>\n

my ass against
\nthe glass
\nof the desk
\na bruise appears
\na day later
\npurple and
\nbeautiful
\na story a mark
\nof our
\nbreaking
\nlove.<\/p>\n

or something like
\nthat.<\/p>\n

I wonder why
\nmy belly aches
\nhurts
\nthe glass
\npressing
\nagainst me
\ncreates
\ntiny crevices
\nin my skin
\nthe glass breaks
\nwhen I touch it
\nlike a sad boy
\nyou touch him
\nhe breaks.<\/p>\n


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

dream of dogs<\/strong><\/p>\n

there was a
\ndream of
\ndogs<\/p>\n

dogs with
\nblackened
\nslickened
\noiled
\nskin
\nand
\npaws<\/p>\n

dogs
\nfrom
\nthe
\nmud<\/p>\n

they came
\nfrom the
\ntrees
\nand had
\na look<\/p>\n

I lay on
\nthe chair<\/p>\n

around I
\nlooked<\/p>\n

and dark
\nit was
\nas it
\nwas night<\/p>\n

the ancient
\ndogs
\nwere not
\nto bite<\/p>\n

but hide
\nbehind
\nthe trees
\nat night<\/p>\n

their
\nslickened
\ndirty
\npaws<\/p>\n

someone needs
\nto dream of
\ndogs<\/p>\n

their dirty
\npretty
\npuffy
\npaws<\/p>\n

why not
\nit be me<\/p>\n
