"'love poetry to myself from the perspective of others that I fantasize them having'"

Notes to Self are longer journal entries from Seven Yrs Ago. I was 21 in early 2014.

“love poetry to myself from the perspective of others that I fantasize them having”

she’s got a mouth that

could tear me

apart, she swears this

thru fucks and bitches

clenched teeth

her lips

in evident sneer

we haven’t even touched

and I’m sinking into

the change of an understuffed

reclined chair

shotgunning forward

into coffee rings of stale leather

approaching empty in back

and opportunity to refill

affronts us, me,

laminated glass

no safety

we roundhouse the corner

to the crunch of mandible splitting

gravel erupture

beefing cleft to chin

gash ruby dimples

breaching blue flame

of the cage I’ve taken

residence in

while you pike your turn

towards oblivious void

I develop a taste for asphalt.
