to the boy who is not my brother

hey everyone, i decided to make a poetry chapbook where i write letters to different ppl in my life. here is the first one. if i ever start submitting to get these published i will prob have to change to friends only bc a lot of publishers don’t let u publish poems that r already online. anyway here’s the first poem, to the boy who is not my brother

to the boy who is not my brother

carry me to my bed

and i’ll carry you to yours. 

i’ll have your back

if you’ll have mine?

let’s discuss the intricacies

of math rock and watch turtles swim.

let’s sit in silence writing 

poetry. let’s get drunk 

off our asses; groan, sway, fall

into a heap, a tangle

of love. let my head sit 

in the crook of your shoulder

so i can hear your heartbeat. 

then let’s get back up 

and punch each other square

in the jaw. 

if my knees give out, 

catch me — i promise

i’ll return the favor sooner or later. 

probably we were meant

to be siblings. probably we’re

from the same star. hey — 

i’ll be your sister

if you’ll be my brother?
