John Bryan
sssssunday

what a silent duet mull we
i have to go outside

implore the moon

to turn the music down. covered
in space acne or cheese
squeeze it's cloudy neck

so the face explodes
no more tide just time

you sit inside with your open mouth
frozen the silent wording indefinite

icicles on your lips
which i snap

barehanded skin
fingerpads torn

my stuck tongue to the steely
