Functional Grief
I catch my left-side smile
in the mirror
as I’m compelled to sing along
announcing to all:
I bet your momma
was a tent show queen
just yesterday I squinted tears
and filled with rage because
I could not stop
to write about you
Something about
lighting a candle because
that is all that is offered
Something about
holding my palm over the flame
feeling nothing
Something about
the tears and light
creating prism kaleidoscopes
but that is what it means
to be...

WHEN YOU CAME INTO MY WORLD
From the depth of my deepness within my heart and soul it is you who has turned my life around, for you shown me what is a rare thing when you stepped into my world as you shown me your love and understanding.
For somewhere in between the feelings and emotions, the vibe in me reemerged from the deepness of my heart, for it was you who awaken within me what I thought and felt had died long ago.

Confession
Sometimes I fantasize about being strung out
for days inside your condo.
Lying there, lucidly, in a muddled stupor.
The taffeta bed sheets stick to my skin.
In a haze, my heavy armor -
sweat drenched and discarded.
You soothe the ridges of my furrowed brow
as soft utterances of tender sweet nothings
escape from your parched lips.
“I’ll marry...
for days inside your condo.
Lying there, lucidly, in a muddled stupor.
The taffeta bed sheets stick to my skin.
In a haze, my heavy armor -
sweat drenched and discarded.
You soothe the ridges of my furrowed brow
as soft utterances of tender sweet nothings
escape from your parched lips.
“I’ll marry...

Not Fishin’ for Platys or Pus(s)
I know for a fact
Minxie’s cast lines and hooks
I know it’s just that
looking for fish, letters
Books
Of or and about
Her and lines and sinker
catch those effin
Platys no push or fuss
No mammal
no no no pus
or puss like a cute kitten
wet and wanting
crack is the tuna
to sing a meow
& now I am certain
You understand
this
Platypus spill
cryptic and
wish
It was something else!!!
Laugh Minx (Minxy) ...

getting outta dodge
MAN!
it's really fucked
up when you
think about
it all
life is no big
deal, kinda
like jerking
off all
day
but DEATH!
that's our reward
for making it
through all
this shit?
...no way...
so i told the gods
i was tired of
playing
and i took my ball
and went
home

I'm just a lady who should have been a man
so it would be alright
alright to love you
I can't cause I'm a woman
women are vicious
women are cutthroat we'd tear each other down
so would it be okay if I lick your poetry?
hide it away inside me with my attraction for you
because it makes me uncomfortable
to be a woman with a taste for a girl like you
hide it where I'm really me
just a human with love for another human
inside me where I'm free
without labels or prejudice
it's just you and me ...

I was amazed today
Old and young nothing to say
No happy kids laughing trying to play
Touch tap beep on their way
Have we left humanity behind
Acts of kindness and love we are blind
Destroying whats left one day at a time
Avoid one another such a horrible crime
Such a pitiful sight
Getting away from the loving light
Creating fake hiding our true might
Loosing our trueselves is a new strife
Ill take the rest of the day with my kids
To make wonderful memories we did
To show the compassion isnt hid
I...
