Lynze Newbern

my brain has left the building
Don't try to get inside
I've been confusing me for days
a new bird call like a whip
o will remix

a sustained accent
on the wrong syllable

the vending machine's touchy
the library's feely
the halyard whips metal
like a lone boat in a memorex marina
and the elm tree sperms spring
I haven't seen dancing since January

I think I'll go native
pick the lint from my navel
develop a rutfuck for a ratface
eat some oranges. some tobacco
take up gardening, plant
a kiss in the desert
pray for rain

Lynze writes at work, at home, and when she's supposed to be putting her kids to bed. Sometimes she writes when she is brushing her teeth. She writes stingrays across sand, under the ripple light of water. She lives in Florida and on the web, blowing across it like the cytology of
spider silk. Deconstruct her, print her. She thanks the zines who have published her such as MiPo, 3rd muse and Peshekee River.
