voiceprint is inspired by the words #inadequate, #undertone, and #ballad.

voiceprint

the body leaves a trace.
data. haunting.
an undertone hums in sleep.
i keep it palmed against my ribs—
dark, inadequate.
a ghost trying to become a song.
untuned,
persistent.

Holyeeeeeeee. This is such a gut punch in the best way possible.

the keyboard pattern peel.
right and left, it’s the same.
no matter how i ride it, nothing falls out.
but if the horse is a hoarse,
then the sound is where the sense is.
and i must not have enough sense for that.

thank you so much. 👻

in the bowl.
not in the text.
on it.
still stuck.

ghost story

this isn’t some mcdonald’s ice-cream-maker thing.
you haunt me—past tense, plural,
all the ways, adverbial.
which is to say: frequently.

a measure of light,
the hollow inside a vessel,
an organ.
brightness as body cavity,
a unit of survival.

you circle me, unafraid,
piranhas for toes in the deep-dark deep—
something that glows,
something that lingers,
something that devours.
