There's no one to stop you

You can do what you want to, whenever you want to.

"Against the Membrane, Pushing" (2012)

Waiting for a sweetheart
Fingers scrape the bottom of the barrel
Feel the grooves of the grain
The wood soaked with fermented grapes
The wavy winding signals bend the past into a circle that spins in place and shakes off the water spraying all over the kitchen
Palm pressed firmly on the hot plate
Lay my head against the gunshot wound
I want to hear your heartbeat
I want to know you're there
I want to sink into your life
