i will say so from my heart

green pod I used to believe
it was carried by poison
i still believe in the poison
i pray to it and feed it
the green emerges outside of me
from the ground
i am a headache and a favor
wet laundry taken from the dryer 
too soon
i can almost smell 
the hotel
the song sounds  
so good
a star upside down
is a star right side up
i guess to have a soul
is to be thirsty
i guess i could be more careful 
about what i drink
she’s in there somewhere
and out there, too
a wet parking lot off River street
the argument cafe 
laminated menus
sharing food
i want to ride backseat
feel the wind
remember
my secrets
