I had to open a beer
and drink most of it
to let my fingers
think of all of this nicely

I had to open a beer
and drink most of it
to let my fingers
think of all of this nicely
-M. Taggart
Slanted windows baring dust covered scars
never heal, even when the sun is hidden,
ending itself layer by layer until it can begin again
-M. Taggart
I ask just to be friendly
with our memories-
so there can be no end
-M. Taggart
it’s time-
crushing ribs while spittle irrupts-
speak truth loved ones
the hand tore away jaw, throat, vision-
a cloud becomes us all
while we search
-M. Taggart
