Selected Poems by Piupiu-Maya Turei

BOI


my boy wears my heart
on black thread around his neck
and its just a symbol -
if it breaks, he still has me

MATH LOV


kicking buckets under
the table, and
falling in love
and falling over
into daisies.

U+ME


don’t set the hounds on me
i’m just knocking you can see
how wonderful this could be
you and me, oh
you and me.
