New visual erasure poetry from C. Show

Born Blue
I don’t know why
we drag the
weight of out past selves behind us
every mistake chained to our heels
so we say - we can’t move forward…

Unconsummated
Moments like these—
leather jacket creases
reflecting by the light
of a street lamp as your
mouth draws close to his
ear whispering promises then…
