Jak Kirwin
asexual agrarian commune
fertile mud flats
jogging home in jeans
a figure eight tattoo on your waist
daisy print panties
Wrangler, drugstore cowboy
riding bikes down big hills
watching fish fly
cream and Schnapps
bonfires at strangers’ houses
watching the patrons playing darts
More Chilli, bad debts et cetera
falling deeply in and
out of love, misunderstood
staying out late
walking home at dawn
pissing, passing out on lawns
finding our way in and
out of youth
and it seems shoes that no longer fit
are the only ones we wish to wear
