Less Than

by Raynen Bajette O'Keefe

vengeful occupant
is it not we were here together
for crossing lines
maintenen alarms
if fire
knock every door (52)
eldest leg ea crutched
foyer, sleeping birds
 
I hate you - still housing
lefting birchwood wind
 
habitat hospice
we can, at, for else
 
pls, when heart ‘home > queers’
undermines how can I
for care
