Friendship Triangle

Light / Luz : White noise. Clean walls, fresh paint, china. Domesticity. Friendship. Visible anatomy; Pressed napkins, hot irons. Sanitation. Tennis skirts. distillation. Private bathrooms. Flat Screens, sopranos, strings of pearls, cups of sugar. Anorexia. Architecture. Academia. Eugenics. Vodka sodas, small talk. Father. Voicemail. Light pollution. Ice.


Gray Area / Medio: collective memory. affection. pencil marks. carbohydrate. guilt. friendship triangles, café con leche. windshields, silence, email. parallel lines. lures. scotch tape. smoked glass. film. lean meat. dream-states. Adhesives, dust. The texture of the symptom, its snaking parts, like long tongues wetting my limbs. The dwelling space within our poetic hierarchies; you are contingent, punctual and fragile at your points of entry. Contaminating, becoming, dissolving. Gift and reserve. The baking rhythm, rising, icing, dripping, slicing open. The border surveyor, silver chief.

Dark / Oscuro: Cravings, throats. Nightmares. Racism. Soot, Neglect. Precoscious children. Depth. Secret. Proximity, heat, fire, sex. Thick hair, eye contact. Tar, 4-day hair. Stimulants, jealousy, attention. Mother. Deep night sky.

What was our internal necessity? The bone in my throat. Candy bone, glitter bone, gutter bone, gun bone, gore bone. Light as gift, dark as reserve. You and you, my triangle, my resevoir, my mote, my drinking straw, my lonely round.
