Eileen Myles - Each Defeat

Please! Keep

reading me

Blake

because you’re going to make

me the greatest

poet of

all time

Keep smoothing

the stones in the

driveway

let me fry an egg

on your ass

& I’ll pick up

the mail.

I feel your

absence in

the morning

& imagine your

instant mouth

let me move

in with you—

Travelling

wrapping your limbs

on my back

I grow man woman

I see wild wild wild

Keep letting the

day be massive

Unlicensed

Oh please have

I’m a little

controlling

Prose has some

Magic. Morg...
