Something I Wrote When I Wasn't Asleep Next to You
(Piece in progress)
When the conversation is strong enough to ask questions,
when the curiosity is 100 proof,
the Origin of a poem can be wondered about.
(not poked, fried, or forgotten)
If I’m ever enough of the world
to be seen as some sort of knowledge
If I’m ever enough of a giver,
the blonde hopes
and
the green eyed futures
will beg it from me.
I’ll tell them the truth:
“First, you...

List of 50 (18 of 50): INCOMPLETE CONFESSION
by Blake Butler

My father’s small magazine collection from which I so carefully clipped single pages and kept them cataloged in a purple folder in the space under my bottom dresser drawer. 3. Years and years of intense staring. 4. Audio recordings...
