oxygenmask tea party

by Steven Kenworthy

stretch.
stretch your legs well.
this stroll has been forever & a decade.
rest your headÂ…Â…Â…Â…Â…Â….....mylove.
the spaceship set sail inside of land. you, the ruler and i measuring
are thrones &anchorsaway. impatient tomorrow is not yet today





unseat the poles the coasts, come degauss the things
of obstacle courses the bright favoured angels
are not so dark. after kansas, youÂ’ll be halfway here.

you canÂ’t be snowblind when thereÂ’s no place like home.
thereÂ’s no place like home.
thereÂ’s no place like home.



all alone you are not the moon or the concave stain
you are not col 2
the impression could be you be my holy fossil? alive
with shell inside & healthy diet be nutritious
for me.

vitamin sea. your poison isnt what it used to be..
have your salt on my skin make a message
dry up against my hard chest leave yourself& be so good
for me.

never stop coming to see me until youÂ’re here forever
Scarlet,
ms. fever itÂ’s good to see you again could i ever catch you&
if i did would you be more toxic or beneficial of this?
this decision in a nursery: contraction or catch? chased
a thief on chariot came thru my boxspring into bed.
on frequent tidal waves thru veins and brainwaves
smallcoliseums of tiny garnet rivers; pooling.congealing,

take take take red blood cells.

for a thief you look free of guilt, easy unseen.
you look good in the ring. jupiter youÂ’ll
orbit slow fall fast. pump ink & sharpened quill you
tattoo against my ribcage. be very surprised if i let you out.



the albatross is hunting&
it burns to have this fire.

I love how your writing leaves so much to the reader's imagination. The last two stanzas are just awesome. Particularly the imagery of an albatross hunting... Love it.

Sea and sky past and present, traveling into you from before, through the "boxspring" huh... some childhoodplaymateloverantagoinist who lives under your skin perhaps, and a nice day for her to come be at the tea party and stay... I say like you, (deguassing) of magnetic intensity- realign the poles- and set forth with the right "impress"ion. Love the fossil imagery here,,, and the "write"onunder and above the skin flight!
