A walnut brown,

twisted frame,

hard bodied surfer,

semen stains shorts,

blisters on the palms of hands.

surgical percussion,

transgender lies,

mythical bathtubs falling from the sky,

wanting wisdom,

while believing lies,

whispered words of intimacy,

an exit turned into an entrance,

friendships lost,

weathered worn,

my eyes darkened,

forgiveness nevermore….
