Poems from Camille Leneau
From the first day I met you
All I needed to do was
Memorize the sound of your laugh bouncing over the lifeless gray linoleum floor...
Smothered a canary in my hands
And cried when it would not sing to me
Threw away your crystalized heart onto cold concrete floors
And...
I had noticed for a long time, really
The subtle saunter in your stride
The way you raked your hands through your hair
But I wanted you...
When you play me like a record
I’m yours before the needle drops
Immersed in your simple complexity
Ensnared in groove after groove of...
Sometimes, when I go out in the summer
I like to watch the butterflies hatch and use their new wings
Sometimes I try to catch one
Get her...
