Nate Maye- Three Poems

Nate Maye is a rising poet from Austin, Texas.

Orbit

I rotate

endlessly

around the void

Having no address

I live among

the stars.

 

Becoming Dog Again

ah

how refreshing

not to care about

being nude in public

as I once did

how refreshing

to sniff bite lick

without judgment

because [shaking head]

it's just a dog.

Questioning Owls

 

I do not bother

to question owls

with their spinning

heads

large blinking eyes

they flutter away

in response to me.
