ALWAYS A PLEASURE

always a pleasure he would say
leaving after another
tattoo & coffee session

hes not come back
but i believe he meant it
& reciprocate

hes only a victim
of convenience & happenstance

of the thorns & soft moss underfoot
on lifes slow journey
to the big lake

UNVOLUTION

we climbed out the lakes
saw the land
thought
fuck this
and quickly hid in the trees
and 
when we got our blood up
and came down again
we stood in the weird water 
of 
the 
looking 
glass
wasting ourselves
wondering at the moon

our opposing thumbs
stuck in the air

for a fast lift
out 
of
there
