A Male. Dog.

January 1, 2019 / firmlov / Leave a comment

obsessed with this girl
he wouldn’t give up his lust
even without hope

even with a limp
from her impatient snapping
penises rule all

Union Station

January 1, 2019 / firmlov / Leave a comment

that blue sky beauty
that draws the world to us
through transportation

bleeds through their smiles
their too-cold impatiences
their want for fire

Denver can bring it
can bring them all to glory
to what we could be

Neverending

to win a dog’s love
is the lottery, won twice
first: hugs. then: kisses.

Kindness Calls

January 1, 2019 / firmlov / Leave a comment

never thought i’d say:
how proud i am in her choice
(this boyfriend beats all)

polite’s not enough
to define how kind he is
how siblings love him

how he brings her joy
without asking anything
and saying thank you

how simple, those words
how genuine, her smile
how relieved, her mom
