- crush; richard siken's selected poems
- seaside improvisation — [i take off my hands and i give them to you but you don't wan't that, so i take them back]
- a primer for the small weird loves — [he hits you and he hits you and he hits you. desire driving his hands right into your body. hush, my sweet. these tornadoes are for you. you wanted to think of yourself as someone who did these kinds of things.you wanted to be in love and he happened to get in the way]
- snow and dirty rain — [i’m thinking my plant, his chair, the ashtray that we bought together. i’m thinking this is where we live. when we were little we made houses out of cardboard boxes. we can do anything. it’s not because our hearts are large, they’re not, it’s what we struggle with. the attempt to say come over. bring your friends. it’s a potluck, i’m making pork chops, i’m making those long noodles you love so much]
