2 poems by Jason Joyce

Big Empty Room

Me: rethinking ghosts
You: a designer mess
In a California cabin,
Early summer,
V-necks
Skinny jeans and flip-flops
Hardwood
Molded plastic
Porcelain fixtures
Shag throws
Bloated furniture
Record: play
Needle to nose

 

 

Decorate

Chain smoke
bag check
trombone case
handle with care in orange 

Keyhole
candle drip 

wrought iron for the 

Gate 

Flamenco
pretty bones 

dia de los 

Balconies
terrace
window dressing,
venue is the word today
