Josh Moore Minnesota

Moist sheets tossed aside
soaked pillows
Side by side
She was wet
Dime sack and tree rings
Green sight meet brown peepers 
Plumb late April Boreal Plains humidity
Abittor Unami eau de cologne
Thin plain pink blanket on the window
Air conditioner recirculating
Salmon rays preen her face
Noon spring afternoon
the rain stopped the sun peeked in

Bare cucumber blooms sticky seeds 
Hanging over pickled 
The baby fat on her belly

She didn’t bathe
Just left my studio apartment

Erotomania sweat,
Womb vacant,
Leprechaun semen leaking,
Birth control implant
Wedding ring manufacturer,
Laconic
