we had much to discuss
across from the liquor store
friday night
gay icons
boba milk tea
lotto tickets
yellow curry
therapy
watching the drunks
in the shadow of the
marquee

king of winchester
he was drunk again
waving it around like the King of Winchester
i made a dash to the fire
while he fixed himself a vodka tonic
closed the flue and
smoked him
out

dys.mantle it
they pick your bones
because they can and
you’re supposed to take it
capitalism says so
you haven’t figured how
to dismantle that so you get drunk and sad
turning your anger
inward #katyamills
look
the sunflowers drink like you drink
she said filling up the vase
again. she rearranged them so they heads
looked all around the room
missing nothing

safeways
some beet faced drunk knocked
produce off the stand
dodging shadows stepped
on garlic cloves
the masks had just come off
that sound
the flesh breaking under
paper skins
you paid me a compliment
i – i wasnt sure i
could take it #katyamills
1984
you tore into us
drunk again
one of your moods
unpredictable
charged
i tried to make
myself small i
stood out like a cherry
on a sea of whipped
cream

NOVEMBER 22. 1997
playing crazy eights listening to music
talking trash fighting getting high
twentysomethings in the late 1900s
spilling drinks spilling consciousness
on the dance floors of YBOR CITY
a blackout drinker in those days i
would lose my credit card and eventually
my wallet my shoes and my keys
my sanity. early hours of the morning
nothing but my clothes and my high on
and a couple phone numbers of friends
in my head.
#katyamills. remix’97
fall the fields
fall the fields arid
the vineyards patched out
from the sky
we worry the wind
we worry the skin of earth
and tree. shed out
and sprawling free
end of night
downtown
i follow the arc of the tip
of your cig.
you damned drunk!
and quietly stamp out
the berry
K IS SILENT
