POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Forbidden Flesh
A woman dispite
the apple at night
my pet snake is lost
to the far left
A tiny branch
Dead man's grain
planted in ashes
of an urn
To the right
painful sleep
but there is no
sleeping on my back
Left
Right?
Let's follow
Democracy.
Like our fathers.
Who Art in Heaven?
Hell will be my name
To the serpant
the apple at night
my pet snake is lost
to the far left
A tiny branch
Dead man's grain
planted in ashes
of an urn
To the right
painful sleep
but there is no
sleeping on my back
Left
Right?
Let's follow
Democracy.
Like our fathers.
Who Art in Heaven?
Hell will be my name
To the serpant

Cherry Pie
I want
Cherry pie
Splitting on either side
I want the sensation
Burning my buds
And spitting the pits
Between my lips
The hard ball
Lazily slipping
Beauty in a spoon
That's what you are

Splitting on either side
I want the sensation
Burning my buds
And spitting the pits

The hard ball
Lazily slipping

Corset
Untie those strings
loosen that corset
that binds my ribs
Like chinese footbinding
It turns the bones
folding into itself
Health problems eating
at the surface of the bite
at age five
that was the start
then onto waists at
eighteen
not years but inches
A hoop skirt tells the paper
golden coins in her breast
the man can eat his
fill of that
filthy bottled mess
loosen that corset
that binds my ribs
Like chinese footbinding
It turns the bones
folding into itself
Health problems eating
at the surface of the bite
at age five
that was the start
then onto waists at
eighteen
not years but inches
A hoop skirt tells the paper
golden coins in her breast
the man can eat his
fill of that

Your Pink Paint
I'm groaning.
Knowing I can't touch it.
I can't touch that sacred
lovely
piece
That thing...
Keeps me up all night
Thinking...
Thinking...
Beauty in a fedora
That's what you are.
You piece of work.
The way your flannel lines straight
Your shape hidden.
You look like a
Pretty
...Pretty...
boy
I can look at you
I can dream about you
When I touch myself.
But I can't touch you?
Without you squirming away.
Profoundly screeching with laughter
It's not...
Knowing I can't touch it.
I can't touch that sacred
lovely
piece
That thing...
Keeps me up all night
Thinking...

Beauty in a fedora
That's what you are.

Past
I'm dipping into my salvation
He was the lord of ultimate damnation
I can see you there
The blame on me
I can't believe that I let it be
The blood of shadows
all stretched about me
I'm trying
I'm trying
He was the lord of ultimate damnation
I can see you there
The blame on me
I can't believe that I let it be
The blood of shadows
all stretched about me
I'm trying

Fastfood Summer
Casting off the nats
Squishing the dirty grease
All full of tiny bugs and gritty salt
By the dozen they go.
They go and they go
People taking and taking
One after another.
It never stops.
Barely could call that clean.
Sickly yellow,
Like blood disease
dirty grease.
That's whatwe're eating.
Fastfood Summers.

What Would Walt Think Now?
I hear America singing.
Their carols?
HA!
Their lyrics exasperating the tilting America.
Painfully crafted nerves gasping for breath.
Through the looking glass.
The glassed stone.
I hear America sing too.
But I hear nothing but mindless chanting.
An ancient cult.
No thoughts,
Just play follow the leader.

Work, Spilled Milk.
Milk tumbles over
Dirty towel used too much
Spills onto the floor

Adieu
It lays knelt before the pulpit
It's song goes unsung in an hourglass throat
All it can do is sit
It weighs out conviction.
awaits fate.
It holds out the hand.
The slender pianist hands.
Creates reality from a push.
It's clay
Cracked and hard.
She is all but clay.

Out of Body.
Summarizing the day
Long and moist
He didn't take my hand but he led me
Led me into hiding.
I was wearing a lengthy skirt.
The day was long.
Kissed me like the day.
moist.
I knew I'd never seen him
That's why he took my hand
Just was a quick fix.
Nothing drawn and perplex.
It was just a little test.
In my little mind.
I couldn't feel a thing.
I was completely blind.
A bad boy wrapped in leather.
A maiden dressed as wench.
His hands were a guide
My mouth...

Carnival
An acidic carnival snapping at my heel.
A stroke of turpentine right across my field.
Sailors parked on the lot in the sea.
A legend so old, it terrifies me.
This year has been blurred of a carousel color.
Streaks of an undefined corn maze spector.
The pirates map the ladles soup.
I can't wait to time the loop.
A rabid ferris wheel brings me up higher.
The strike of a match sparks it on fire.
My thoughts are avid, livid, here.
I am not going to breathe in the mirror.
My acidic carnival phantomed one day,
It had...
