what I'm trying to say is that if the temperature

inside those wild pockets of interstellar dust hits right near absolute zero,

carbon monoxide and dihydrogen molecules condense together in the dark

nebula to form stars. if you're ready, i want to make you shiver like that.

friends says the monarchs witnessed entire armies of southern-living father frogs who swallow their tadpoles whole two crescent moons later the fathers cough up a pile of unharmed raindrop-sized frogs what does it mean, to take what you love into your mouth, to hold them there that gently without swallowing them alive?

Keaton St. James - Glitter

i.

boys in the corridor can't stop shivering. they're wearing too much makeup & they want to forget everything except the way they look at each other, not like love is a secret, but like love makes them a flock of luzon doves in flight— they show their bleeding hearts on the outside of their soft chests & they soar & they soar & they soar.

ii.

give a boy a lilac branch, he'll want to cry for you. give a boy your mouth, he'll want to die for you. history is littered with bullets that way. the world should know better than to shoot, but it doesn't.

iii.

let's make grand declarations. let's go dancing in old- fashioned clothes. i hear the dark floors in the bar on salem avenue are always covered in glitter & they play too much depeche mode. you look ethereal in the moon- light & i wanna shout at this battered earth that we're all healing together! we will always heal!

- Glitter by Keaton St. James

say soft limbs. say the tug and strain of growing. say growing. say molting. say this pain will pass.

[POEM] Rural Boys Watch the Apocalypse by Keaton St. James

We stand together by the creek in my backyard

watchin' the stars fall one at a time. A third of the sky's black now. Your hand's in mine.

"I thought it'd be... wilder than this," you say. "Four horsemen, trumpets & earthquakes, waters turnin' to blood, ya know?"

But there are only the fallin' stars.

"'Least the weather channel warned us about it," I say. "Glad they predicted somethin' right for once."

My doomsday neighbors are loadin' the back of their dirty ol' pick-up— suitcases stacked under cardboard boxes of books & silverware stacked under large whitewashed crosses.

My parents didn't pack up & neither did yours.

"If there are angels walkin' the streets, I wanna see 'em," your ma told us over coffee. "I wanna know if they really got lion-teeth & a hundred thousand eyes."

your chest is a wall of fire. the pain says, i own buckets, and i own torches. you pick torches.
