untimely

blood
upon the lips 

when i came to

untold hours
unconscious i
stayed up all night without
any draw toward sleep

i mistook the sun
for death and the
moon for the sun

my face
pale as unpainted walls

i wanted something 

i know not what i know nor

how to behave

i know not

why

#katyamills

property of the sun

solitary

censored

the sun kept a great distance from everyone it influenced

to do its proper work

the moon 

she wouldn’t damage your retina

mark her with flags 

claim her  

you who are owned

by the sun

good friday

we decided on mint chip

made from almonds

we licked our feelings off the spoon 

the silver reflected

a pink full 

moon

we low key felt good

friday

#katyamills

low key in love

drawn at the reach of the sun 

high off a glance from the full pink moon we were

low key in love

mid december south 

of mars

r.evoke

you can look upon her 

the cold desert nights 

feel her inside you

as the sun she can

feel you inside her

stare at you and go 

blind   #katyamills

waxed moon

unable to get what you 

want when you wanted it your 

eyelids fell over two waxed 

moons thankful for all 

you have

#katyamills

into the cellular memory

she concocted a potion for the full

harvest moon. diatomaceous earth

stirred with baking soda

and water. to convey the spirit 40 million years

back when all cellular life was more

or less collaboratively 

symphonic

nectarine

i picked a nectarine out from the fruit market. my spirits rose. i took a bite and looked up and saw the outline of the moon in a blue sky and thanked god.  -Katya
