POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Concision and Paradox are my weapons of choice. I'm a haiku fiend and an imagist.
VESSELS
We are pottery
Vessels
Made from earth
Seasoned with fire
Our tempers cooled
With water
Our softness cured
With air
But we are also flexible
Magical containers
Spinning on the wheel
Massaging grooves into our surfaces
We learn to hold each other
Inside each other

Half asleep
Our bed shakes
A madman
Scribbling
Half asleep
I reach over
Feel your thighs

ACCOUNTING
"Can I trust you?"
He queried wearily.
"You can" she breathed back
Before adding, "Most of the time."
And he wondered:
Is this a fraction I dare to round up?

TOSSED AND TURNED
I will be stretched thin
Almost to the point of breaking
Everything will be up in the air
But you will catch me
Again and again
I will be burnt to a crisp in spots
But I will turn out excellent
I am the pizza dough
Almost to the point of breaking
Everything will be up in the air
But you will catch me
Again and again
I will be burnt to a crisp in spots
But I will turn out excellent
I am the pizza dough

CHICKEN LOVE
Love is a game of chicken
Where nobody loses-
You just keep driving
Further and further
Into each other
Where nobody loses-
You just keep driving
Further and further
Into each other

Wearing yesterday’s t-shirt and socks
And dirty rain pants
Because everything else
Is flea-infested in bags
I will stand outside
My business that is closing down
To offer you the rest of my life
Which may not appear
To hold much worth,
But my heart is as bright
As this rhodolite garnet-
Oh you’re calling to tell me
That you don’t want to meet me here.
Okay. It can wait.

SPARE
I had to use your keys
To get into my heart
After locking myself out

You are a free soul
And you are mine
That is my favorite
Paradox of them all
And you are mine
That is my favorite

FORAGE HIKE 2
The forest is wet
With opportunity, and
We shall pluck her fruits.

YOU ARE STILL MY MUSE
You are still my muse
I've made our molten love as
Dormant as I can

LIFE IN REVERSE
When we decided to go for the studio apartment
I remember thinking that this could be the beginning of a regression that takes us back further
Toward our younger, independent days
The long-distance relationship
And ultimately
Life without each other
At one moment, at least,
I saw it coming
But I never would have guessed
It would happen so fast
That by New Years
You would be gone.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER
Something to remember
When a momentary shift
Hurts your perspective
On the wider landscape
Making you think
Something is missing:
You've hit the jackpot
You are the jackpot
When a momentary shift
Hurts your perspective
On the wider landscape
Making you think
Something is missing:
You've hit the jackpot
You are the jackpot
