book of f-ckery

a poem i wrote in english

i am from amanda
from tattoos and piercings
i am from dark rooms at 2am.
(bumpy walls and warm sheets,
they smelled like lavender.)
i am from car engines
dogs barking
and yells that i remember
as if i heard them yesterday.

im from cold coffee and diesel
    from michael and brenda.
im from fluffy dogs
    and crepe mertles,
from kit kats and sweet tea.
im from classic rock
    inside the woods
    as i lie in the grass.

im from stars and skulls,
birds and mens cologne.
from peanut butter and jelly
    in the evening,
the laundry detergent that removed the stains.
