my cat is shaped like a flaccid penis
a fluffy black cat sitting in an armchair and resting his head on the arm of the chair. he is shaped like a lil dick and balls

“I have spent / the currency of my body / clawing
my way out / of the blood-dark dirt /
that birthed me”

Super excited for these poems @theoceanisgay.bsky.social in @seattlemet.com.web.brid.gy

tease the thin membrane between pleasure
and disgust. O beads of sweat bedazzling
your skin, I lap you up until you’re soaked"

as we were leaving Canada, the customs officer asked me and Zury what our relationship is and I said “we’re lovers” and he just nodded and said “hey, better than haters, right?” 💀

Ok so in case yall missed the memo like I did. David Lehman, series editor of Best American Poetry is a Zionist ass. Literally feel embarrassed that I wound up in this situation. I was literally the only person of color in a room of 50+ people. It was terrifying.
