youÂ
are when you are you
are not when
you are
not
#katyamills
endless tugboats and an egyptian
full moon
could not dislodge the floating
skyscraper lost its bearings in a sandstorm
blocking the artery
giving the world a stroke
#katyamills
they took no umbrage
amidst another tumultuous attempted overthrow
born under the lights they faced a hundred million semi-happy believers
palms together they smiled without
a smile
#katyamills
covert
resistance turned
overt in the year of got nothing
to lose
#katyamills
rolling thoughtful eyes
a milky soporific
tea leaves discarded in an angry
drain. too long i let it steep too long. i’m sorry
the confession
the weapon
time
#katyamills
the roads still glistening with dew they
carved a 180 @ the 5432Â
café. a pour over black no creamer
for the dreamer
Â
#katyamills
like a storm cloud
both – and + charged
a hundred days they
venture until
spent
#katyamills
you tore into us
drunk again
one of your moodsÂ
unpredictableÂ
charged
Â
i tried to makeÂ
myself small i
stood out like a cherry
on a sea of whippedÂ
cream
#katyamills
life like
a switchblade
it can be used
against you
#katyamills
