Poem a Day 2026

that day after teddy bear cove
after sitting in traffic and feeling some erotic power
only known in the fuck-it interstitials
of a high risk pulse
after swimming and eating 
love potion potatoes 
back in the tiny house making
filler conversation surrounded by 
unfortunate octopus art and 
wax stained windowseats 
you got scared
til i told you we were both adults
which was the right way
to pardon us into
ageless tissue beings 
pretending the nearby fountain 
was rain
washing us 
clean
