I love lines on the side
of a thigh, the little
topographic map
of all the growth that brought
you to here
that live on the hips.
Once you were that,
now you are this,
this is the proof
of your endurance,
these are the tree rings
that testify
to every fire
you have ever survived.

My goodness there’s nothing like a sliver of a moon hanging silently in the most unbelievable gradient from the black of space to the orange of a Malibu sunset. Wow.

Typewriter Series #2718 by Tyler Knott Gregson
Found you through periscope,
the only explanation I can offer,
for I know I was buried beneath
the waves, I know I felt the pressure
pressing on the hull of me.
I can say what I will of preferring
the deep solitude the open ocean,
the dark velvet blanket
I wrapped myself in for so many years,
but it says all I cannot
that after all that time
I never pulled down that
periscope,
that I found you
at all.

Typewriter Series #2717 by Tyler Knott Gregson
There’s a center,
for each of us, a middle,
a red painted target
and around it rings on rings
on rings, before cork becomes
wall, and wall becomes pock-marked
and holey.
Every dart landing
will teach us of love, will
introduce us to
ourselves,
but there’s a center,
and I’ve always believed
in this.
Some find theirs, some
find something close
and are blissful
and unaware.
Some settle for a
breach in the drywall
and put the game
away.

Been to a lot of bookstores in my day, some as a customer, some as an author. This one may take the cake as one of my favorites.

Typewriter Series #2716 by Tyler Knott Gregson
Broken pieces of broken bits
all threat to the barefoot
of the world. I think I
shine in the sunlight,
half pretty and glinting
but I cut, deep,
without ever meaning to.
Be the ocean and the stones
it carries, toss me
and roll me and smooth
all that jagged edged
nonsense
I became when shattering
replaced shelf sitting.
Make me sea glass,
finger held from stooping
hands, make me worthy
of saving,
of some pocket,
somewhere.
