We were in the gold room where everyone
finally gets what they want, so I said What do you
want, sweetheart? and you said Kiss me. Here I am
leaving you clues. I am singing now while Rome
burns.
(Richard Siken)
“Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out,” Crush, Richard Siken







You wanted happiness, I can’t blame you for that,
and maybe a mouth sounds idiotic when it blathers on about joy
but tell me
you love this, tell me you’re not miserable.- Seaside Improvisation by Richard Siken

— Richard Siken, Road Music



I want more applesauce. I want more seats reserved for heroes.
Dear Forgiveness, I saved a plate for you.Quit milling around the yard and come inside.(.richard siken)
