'taping the lips'
Anthony Robinson
all involve the idea of sweetness
the honey of elbow brown hair firefly
+
inside you
+
loping latitude. the loveliest I've seen
on that particular chair. bend back. over. again.
+
stars. douceur. the purloined love letter.
we burned everything left our clothes on her banks
+
the french have a word. it is not "freedom"
those men have a bomb
+
"you, my gazelle, really are the bomb."
—the man, you see, was drunk
he was trying to say the name
of a rhyming poem—
she fucked him. lucky error.
+
all develop independently all make reference to the slippage.
sever sever sever. my love, i owe you several
missiles. i misspell my desire. drop it on the floor.
watch the cartoon flames dance dance &.
+
it is not like a womb it begins with "mother"
+
i need to be your skin.
look at those people. their flesh is on fire.
"i suppose that must have been some buildings
with people in them"
+
all involved.
all culpable.
all cuppable.
the idea of sweetness.
inside you, capably so.
