bathroom gecko
building reminders
how a blister on the toe can threaten the days ahead
all the worries you try not to consider
the lotion with its pleasantly light coconut scent
how this city remains awake as I sleep
amazing how quickly one acclimates
this bed
that water
the sun sweating through me
i can wrap my toe in tissue
i can get back to virginia to find it more sweet

sun spots
trying not to sneeze in the Miami airport
traveling alone, for now
the streets of Miami are choked with storm water
swim in the ocean
swim in the streets
i think all these homes are airbnb
mercedes parked outside the gate
silent taxi, reprieve
the lady on the plane thanked me for not being obese
cringe
they’re going to the bahamas to put on makeup and squeeze into old jeans
we’re all judging something
horizontal streetlights how i missed thee
