what is the scent of absence?
Paris by Yves Saint Laurent
Paco Rabanne
Toe Jam Football
falling stars streaking thru the sky in daylight? !
asteroids? comets? the end of days? apocalyptic
crazed dreamscape long streaks of light like
lysergic trails seen at 14 frog blotter in burbs
walking home at dawn teen warrior minted in
david fuchs bedroom long haired freaky people
need not apply
morning after the dreamy light shower newsflash
daytime meteors ! the Arietids peaking like me? 50
was the ultimate still robust-vibrant a rock n rollin bitch
for you now penultimate powers simmering in the
crucible of ape
stew of old jew
eye of newt
flowerpower interruptus
don’t despair rebirths do happen right up to the last
second +afterward too martino a brand new babe
with a brand new bladder not the frankenstein one
from the florida cancerward father married! looking
dapper in a wedding suit
mother in capris cardi +cig ohhh so Audrey
luminescent-incandescent +waving Hi Mum!
swoooosh flying past bumps my head now
windshadow💥streakinglight
i’m slowly getting used to being here without you (is that even possible?)
you can’t imagine how different it is how it feels
from 30,000 ft above our city the first time
returning after you died so EMPTY now 4 yrs
later the strangeness commonplace ingrained
a motherstain
..the work of grief is to face the reality of the absence..

Spring 2026 ..you want more..
