Two Micros by Fran Tirado


Cool Life Tip

sometimes
if you kiss

your own knee
you can

trick yourself
the lips are

someone else

 


You Once Met a Gay Man with Glaucoma

he’d be blind
by thirty            (“better dead”)
you prayed to       one day
have a chance          in a bright room
in this world         he only fondles
its pinkness &          the brilliant
dimples



hypothesis

“my body remembers its first silence”
