do not disturb April 19, 2009

got no boundaries
and no limits
if there’s excitement
put it in me.

if it’s against the law,
arrest me,
if you can handle it
undress me.

alone in body,
hold to fire-
not hot enough
to give a care.

a little something… February 1, 2009

i nestled to
his edges
his doubling breaths

we hunger many things
swimmingly
springtime

dove January 4, 2009

it’s a shocking bird

singing rock opera

straight through a

stained glass window

on those cold sundays

you’ll never remember to

forget.  no lack of

crayons on the

fourth pews floorboards.

now, the ladies still

sing and their men hum

hymns like steam trains,

but harder; big hats shift

with praise.

[Four. Oh, Nine...] reVISION* April 25, 2008

Walking backwards down I-10 to the [409]
Someone said it smells like money…
I say it reeks of corrosive atoms
clinging to my cashmere.

Divide the drugs equally,
subtract the middle class,
multiply high school sweethearts,
add crashing cars, killing kids-
this graffiti-ridden coffin is essential.

Notice not the catalytic cloud
in the atmosphere;
but behold
bullets raining into a sea
of asthmatic mannequins
drowning effortlessly
in their own handcrafted
wasteland observatory.
