6 SENRYU

Laughlin Cole

6 SENRYU photo

boyfriend has tourette’s
dick ass ugh lick butt fuck slut
bitch sorry shit dude

* * *

his red-painted toes
splayed across the ford dashboard
tiny exit wounds

* * *

uh uh uh uh uh 
uh uh uh fuck yea baby
uh uh uh uh uh

* * *

they call us pansies
southern hospitality
but I've killed more deer

* * *

holding his hair back 
calling earl on a white phone 
twelve empty bottles 

* * *

jumping off the bridge
for the first night in decades 
he follows his heart
