POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Concision and Paradox are my weapons of choice. I'm a haiku fiend and an imagist.
THE LAST TIME
Over the steaming
Spring water's flow
Your eyes gleaming
Tell me what you know
Our bodies interlace
To fit in this tub
The look on your face
The cheeky side rub
"I want you" you pause
"To fuck me" you grin
This bath with its claws
Supporting our sin
My back meets the floor
Everything is slick sweat
Slight ajar door
Slightly hides tête-à-tête
You hang there a second
Everything taut
My gaze must have beckoned
Astride me you squat
And I enter you
A red hot knife...

Supporting our sin
My back meets the floor
Everything is slick sweat
Slight ajar door
Slightly hides tête-à-tête
You hang there a second
Everything taut
My gaze must have beckoned
Astride me you squat
And I enter you

I WANT TO WRITE YOUR WALLS WET
I want to make you quiver
By touching you through the air
Ten feet away
I want you to be perfectly still
And think of me
And explode
I want to be the smoke
That you inhale
Making you crazy
I want to write your walls wet
And drip drop with an echo
Inside you forever
By touching you through the air
Ten feet away
I want you to be perfectly still
And think of me
And explode
I want to be the smoke
That you inhale
Making you crazy
I want to write your walls wet
And drip drop with an echo
Inside you forever

A GOOD DAY
I will fall on the sword for you
He offers
I do not need you to tonight
She replies
Pulling him by the hand
Away from the blade
He offers
I do not need you to tonight
She replies
Pulling him by the hand
Away from the blade

SOCCERBALL
As I stand over your terrified face watching the light drain from your eyes, I realize that I did over-react, that this ending is not as satisfying as I had imagined. I don't even want to kick your disembodied head like a soccer ball anymore. What has become of me?

VENOMOUS SACRIFICE
Oh bee
that's normally
so sweet,
today you
knocked me off my feet with your distinct message
sent, though I knew not what it meant. Fingers
found you in my hair- didn't know what
you were doing there. Didn't even
know that you were bee;
in that moment you stung me,
warning my heart to no avail.
Found out tonight of love's betrayal!
This poison's effect will linger
direct upon my ringfinger.
Oh bee that's normally
so sweet- today
you knocked
me off my
feet
.

BODY OF MARIN
Good morning
Body of Marin
You're glistening with dew
I slide between
Your laden hills
Admiring the view
Fresh rivulets
Of sustenance
Satisfied and full
You are
A gracious lover
Driving my electric soul

MARSUPIAL
I hang out in your
Furry pocket as other
Objects pass us by

CRACKING THE SHELL
I saw a crow drop a walnut
Or rather push it off its perch
The power line
It landed in front of me
I avoided it noticing in my rear view
The vehicle behind me almost crushing it
I wondered is this how we appear
To other beings with a window
Into our world-
Crows finding safe places
To drop walnuts
In the path of makeshift crushers?
Is this how our plans look
To other travelers to whom we pray:
Please accidentally assist us?
Or rather push it off its perch

I avoided it noticing in my rear view
The vehicle behind me almost crushing it

To other beings with a window

Crows finding safe places
To drop walnuts
In the path of makeshift crushers?
Is this how our plans look
To other travelers to whom we pray:

CHI
She rubbed my toe
Like it was the ball of a pen
Stuck
Needing heat
That was how
She got my words flowing
Again
Like it was the ball of a pen
Stuck
Needing heat
That was how
She got my words flowing
Again

OBSTACLE COURSE
Let us prove
We can laugh
And snort
And feel the warm
Gush
Of love
Despite it all
We can laugh
And snort
And feel the warm
Gush
Of love
Despite it all

BROKEN IN
Your heart
Is a new pair of shoes
That needs to be
Properly broken in
Before it can take you
The places you must go
Is a new pair of shoes
That needs to be
Properly broken in
Before it can take you
The places you must go

ON LOAN
Feeling his stomach
knot
I miss your thumbs he thought
Rising up, alone
