[kaytpoems]

july’s desert

the sun a mirage of warm and

burning and an intense lust. it 

makes voyeurs of us all. sand 

sticking to sweat-slicked skin. 

a panting thing. hot as a fantasy

we cannot yet name.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

waiting up with the light on

eyes heavy as the night, but

i hold out within warm glow. 

you shut the lights off. worth 

it when your body, warm, curls 

against my spine. this safety a

sleep-aid. a reassurance that

the darkness cannot touch me.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

tied to change

the seasons do it, so i will too. 

there is devotion in beginning 

again. to blooming and dying 

at will. i choose not to mourn. 

instead, i’ll become a spectacle.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

food as an act of love. 

you bring me a snack after. 

we’re lounging in bed. kissing

crumbs from each other’s 

mouths. satiating a different

hunger. 

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

i nurse a hunger that cannot be satiated

it sits. stone in my stomach. 

weighted. fluttering at any 

opportunity. i am hungry, yet

full of these feral feelings. i

am trying not to show this

starve and my saliva covered 

thoughts.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

blackberry jam

teeth stained. purple in my

gums and my thoughts. i 

chew. fingertips the right 

amount of sticky. smile so

the seeds can bloom just 

as this joy does.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

licked the edges of her brain

and she laughed. called me

crazy. could only smile at her

acute observations. always 

was a little odd. obsessed. a

beckoning madness that 

drives me closer to her warmth.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

you sip on august, i devoured july

mango juice still stains the 

corners of my mouth. you 

can lick summer off me. 

never been a messy eater,

but this heat brings monsters

out of me. ravenous. feral 

beneath this festering heat.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

she broke me

between her fingers. i thanked

her. crumbled in the spaces 

between her graceful fingers. 

looked up as i fell down. into 

the piles of her old lovers. into

an accepting madness.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

flirting with the edge

teetering between lust and genuine 

love. neither reaches up to catch me. 

i’m held all on my own. trying not to

disturb this delicate balance.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

over the sea, over me

hold my breath and let waves

crash over my head. can’t open

my eyes in this salted wailing. 

i sink in silence. let my back

meet a sanded floor. here, i live

dormant. here, i live forever.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

racing the wind

two feet on the board. gravity 

a winding knot in my gut. i’m 

pushing off down a smoothed

road. breeze against braids. 

breath held. smiling against 

the rush that leads me forward.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

the moon is the night's lover

casting her light upon the darkest

parts of our lives. highlighting the

lonely. the somber. the ones who

burn beneath the sun.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

excuse me while i borrow your laughter for a moment

your crow's feet and teeth looked 

so beautiful. thought i'd try them.

your boom and boisterous. the hollow 

of your throat a home to such joy.

maybe one day i will let birds rest 

in the corners of my eyes too.

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

catch my kiss

keep it tucked in your pocket. 

don’t lose it along the way. i 

painted my lips pretty just for 

you. red as desire. a lust that

doesn’t fade against your touch. 

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

bound to the dark

we don’t need our eyes anyway. 

inhale sweet scent of skin. touch

all your favorite places. know this 

sweat by taste alone. hear the

desire rise up from warmed throat. 

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

requirements for a new body

something to stand the test 

of time. pleasure over pain. 

working eyes. don’t ask for 

much. only to live how dying 

things do. too much confidence 

in my limbs. too much sun. 

the promise that i can do more.

~K.T.
