Commandeered Idioms

On the other side of the fence

Is a sidewalk through wildness

Coyote keggers

Owls fucking

Don’t count your chickens

Read them poems about plucking

Thank them for golden cores

Pray over yours

Eat an omelet

Actions speak

Brasher than tears

Soft as regret

Faster than fear

Out of sight

Outside of time

Out of one’s name and mind

In dark retreat

Every cloud has

Nine pails of rain

No shame

A journey to complete

An alien to hide

Laughter is

The best heartfuck

The enemy of pride

Beauty is in

The bent hands of my man

The heat of his neck

Our love side by side

All that glitters

Requires light

Or inner sight

Sometimes a fight

Don’t cry over

Spilled hope

Spoiled broth

Soiled hat

Don’t let the cat

Ruin your dawn

Meowing to wake you

Make you

Step in vomit

The grass is always greener

After you water it
