For Mira

It’s a funeral. It’s a loss. That’s why there are no words.

There’s nothing documented between  
Aardvark  
And  
Zyzzyva  
That can fill the void  
Of you  
In my life,
Nor frame
My utter
Devastation
 
Nothing  
That will unwound you, but  
The day is long and  
Boring, so  
I fucking dance,  
Kick up my  
Heels,  
Amidst  
The dim  
Procession  
 
I fuck stupid  
I, stupid fuck  
I, Exilis  
I fuck things up  
 
Hey,...

NON-FICTION PROSE

Hello :)

Communication is challenging. There is an automatic amount of projection of prior experience bias and disposition onto everything in our environment. It was wisely said, "People meet us where they are, not where we are."

Anthropomorphization is common and easily recognizable as we lie together on the grass and describe the shapes in the clouds. I see a dog with floppy ears blown in the wind, one flung upward and away, one flat against his chin, one rear leg raised, perhaps an instant before micturation. You see Artemis drawing her bow defiantly to loose a quarrel against the...

EROTIC POEM

Hearts Not Red

Place your eye here,
Upon this board
Where I have sawed necks of cheese
And strangled chamomile leaves
Into an evening repast
Come, sit

Nostrils flare,
Close fisted around the scent
Of baking breads and the powders
Which drag a haphazard trail
Across the tiles are
Smeared with overlarge footsteps
A cloud still hanging
In the air
Ruminating
Low to ground
As if by some recent passage
 
Moans of some fresh transition
Carry from the nave
Across a still stretch of vacant ...
