STEPHANIE VALENTE
my daddy told me
to keep an eye on you
take me to the blue beach
on yr motorcycle
where the dead live
under the boardwalk
tell my words to spiral
tell me everything you know
about sequence stars
or just bad men
i'm not the other woman
but i don't know a thing
about yr tattoos
how they twist
when you kneel + pray
we all have crosses
to bear - i am full moons
wide hips lingering
beside you
my daddy told me
to stay away from men
like him, like you
i'd listen
but that's so foolish.
