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.
A few haiku… May 16, 2008
resurrected doubt
diminishes dumbly bitches
decomposes, snow
to pine sans the fir
appeased only by sweets
note: requires you
pastel saag pasta
brain is made of lemon zest
popsicle-mamba
love is like used lamps
lick my light socket- bulb
is on again off again
[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.
[Pretending to be Transparent] April 21, 2008
The dream was in my pocket
scribbled with red ink
never to be erased.
Now fireflies in your blue eyes are like kaleidoscopes-
and even in the shadows of this giant oak tree
serendipitous light clings to you like static,
except closer and excessively copasetic.
I am holding my breath.
You are reaching in my pocket.
We have become opaque.
