#minimalism poems on Hello Poetry

mikey Dec 2024

my father is telling me last night he dreamt he was telling the neighbours to install a shining privacy screen. my mother is telling me she dreamt about doing her taxes. “hand over your documents” the man said. she’s telling me how it was a different man, and how he really should have already had their documents, and i’m just sitting here thinking ‘if my dreams ever get this boring, please shoot me’. i don’t want domestic fantasies. i am not my father. my father’s only son is the house we live in. i am not allowed to touch the walls. i am not my mother. i do not care if my surfaces shine or not. i am not my parents. i do not want a government job. i do not want a sterile house. i don’t like ikea furniture. i still have dreams about zombies and my friends and war the ocean and i never want that to go away.

the phone's rung twice now

the phone’s rung twice now;
i can hear it from the bath,
too naked to talk.

a ****

cut me some slack;
been feeding too long on crackers from the mart.
it takes guts to admit -
the best feeling you've had all day
is letting out a ****.

sorry, i know it stinks. had to let it out.

her breath

a window of time:
wind sneaks in from behind like -
her breath on his neck.

the bar

a glass of bourbon
unspent napkins on the side
the cheque is written

a line in the sand

a line in the sand
waves falling short every time
jittery wrinkles
