Take me down to the slaughtering fields
I've always longed for since the beginning
hold me there so, we can play hide and seek
near the old aperture of water that
oversees us from the corner of its distilled eye
drawing from uninhabitable spheres
giving us a place to marvel in
and when we’re tired we can sit,
kneading the soil of abandonment
into some sweet edible
right before dusk.

Dragon
Ears were afflicted
by the trailing ends
of your heart
before the narrowing silence
that garners
its illuminated letter with moss
and magic scribe copy
ushering in
the (now) 2 headed
dragon
of me.

Haiku #15
I guard myself from
The elliptical bludgeon
Of internet meme.

We continued to pick at ourselves
in the reflection of each other
before walking out the door
and since there was no telling where one of us ended
or the other one began
we made the most out of 1 indistinguishable
brown body of defiant skin
that only split when it needed
to cover ground more quickly.

Queen
We could have made
Colonies
Out of our desire
Hatching each one by name,
If you had wanted to
With fingers
Traveling
Across shoulders
Organizing
The collective
Self
You would've been
Queen
Outliving
The drone
That serviced you
And sustained...
Vastly maturing
Mounds.

Anonymity
The early onset
Of a strange creature
Places the
Inner workings
Of this mind
On trial
By other bodies
Who have been
Here
Longer
In cyberspace-
Herding over
These
Artifacts
Of belonging
Prepared
To try, convict
And indict me
Over
“One”
Yet I find
Myself
Still
Surrendering
All objectivity
In hopes
Of rubbing
Elbows
Alongside
The least
Of you.

Horses
She buried me
In the smoldering
Truth of her
Words
And I was
Eternally grateful
For the
Smile
Nodding off
Into
Bliss
(A bliss.
Of horses.
Kept away.
From.
Respiratory.
Trouble...
Like wildfire).

Hair
I was accosted by an eager bath sponge
Wringing water Out over my head;
Which was quick to wet the intuitive skies
Of my hair
Carving the rest of me In
The open womb of the sea.
Wringing water Out over my head;
Which was quick to wet the intuitive skies

I saw another
Insolvent M.A. working
For minimum wage.

You used your body
For reckoning
Not only
With
The power of that
Loose jointed
Fragrance
I wore
But
With
Hands
That were
Sinister
On feet
Conducting
Symphony #22
In
C minor.

Only a god stopped
The tirade of you foaming
Under my closed door.
The tirade of you foaming
Under my closed door.
