Polyamourosity

Write a poem about people that love multiple people.


Some heartbeats roll like dough
Picking up the dust nearby
Picking up the silent nods from afar,
Until they are warm.

But I know some that don’t feel the warmth
The sunset waves do not tug their hearts
They can’t take the rays one at a time.
Instead, they ask for more.

So, they ask for a fleet of roller coasters to pull them
They go up in roars and grease
Arching their backs for more
And they come down
They wait for more

Some people are built with a world inside
And they wait for one to explore
Some have more roads roaming
Some, more rivers running

Some people are just waiting to be built-
Feeling everyone near,
So the cities can be populated
And they are seen from afar.

Webs of Strangers

“Write about strangers.”


Every bracket of flesh on this landmark
that we call Earth, is stranger once.

 

In every trail there is a passerby,
a clear pity on the roads.
We strut our burdens together,
in a miser’s maze of conflict
and heart’s lost verse.

 

We are the stones in the creek,
a lost collection seeking investment.
We cuddle our webbing fates,
binding our rattling fiction
into one pool of strange togetherness.
