Pick Your Poison

There’s something under my bed,” she said.
While kneeling down I heard her whisper from beneath the mattress, “There’s something in my room.”

the billowing

long before
the smoke billowed
thick
and grey

she sat


kerosene tears
ensu(r)ed
nothing remained
incombustible

another haze
yet this one
with a clarity
of purpose

just before he died

Maria Explains Herself

Melancholy", she said,
"doesn't belong to September,
but, to the eyes that paint it..."

"After all" she concluded,
sight doesn't make sense
without a vision..."

Naturally

The scars should heal by morning
he said laughing behind his pipe
What would you like for dinner, dear?
she said smiling behind the knife
Something vegetarian
our dinner is running away!
Naturally!

A Beautiful Sunset

Shoot on sight, darling
I found a use for the revolver
Reload before dawn and open fire
A suit and tie is out in the open

“Open fire!”

Tell me

Somewhere in between the lines
My pen and yours became entwined
Drowning in androgyny
I was you and you were me

Geometric Expectations

At a busy street corner
waiting for Greeks bearing gifts...

He, always, stands at corners
to avoid going in circles...
