POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Concision and Paradox are my weapons of choice. I'm a haiku fiend and an imagist.
IF WE ARE NOT CAREFUL
The boring horrors
To which we have accustomed
Ourselves will end us
To which we have accustomed
Ourselves will end us

THE LESSON
Driving force
Will shift the gears
Smile with teeth
Into your fears
This is how
Future's protected
The lesson's different
Than expected
Will shift the gears
Smile with teeth
Into your fears
This is how
Future's protected
The lesson's different
Than expected

THE WEAVER
If I charge you by hours
You can't afford it
If I charge you by times
I've touched the willow
You can't afford it
The only way
You can afford it
Is if I charge you
By kindness
You can't afford it
If I charge you by times
I've touched the willow
You can't afford it
The only way
You can afford it
Is if I charge you
By kindness

A cake to be had
And eaten too
Through love
I shall devour you
And eaten too
Through love
I shall devour you

We creak together
Like the shared timbers of an
Old and haunted house
CREAK
Like the shared timbers of an
Old and haunted house

A TICKLE, A DRIP AND A RIP
Love's a hairy beast
A million hairs of love
May now tickle you
---
I can take
Whatever drips
And spills of time
You have for me
Because in truth
I am always
With you
---
Being ripped open
Is not very fun
But it is like
All growing pains
A million hairs of love
May now tickle you
---
I can take
Whatever drips
And spills of time
You have for me
Because in truth
I am always
With you
---
Being ripped open
Is not very fun
But it is like
All growing pains

Tank Girl and Furiosa
Can't hold a candle
They're knockoff
Proxy fantasies
You're a real life
Post apocalypse hero
You carry the world
Hardly anyone knows
Can't hold a candle
They're knockoff
Proxy fantasies
You're a real life
Post apocalypse hero
You carry the world
Hardly anyone knows

It's one of those nights
Where the bats can hear
How beautiful you look
Where the bats can hear
How beautiful you look

A scarcity of love
Is how I used to feel
Affecting my decisions
And telling me what's real
How could I not be bitter
Though a promise made
At every twist and turn
Turns out I had been played
Is how I used to feel
Affecting my decisions
And telling me what's real
How could I not be bitter
Though a promise made
At every twist and turn
Turns out I had been played

Burgundy velour
In fast black delight
Red pinstripe
Against the night
FIRST CAR
In fast black delight
Red pinstripe
Against the night

In a matriarchal society
That makes me worthless
You said
Except you are the opposite
Accept you are the opposite
That makes me worthless
You said
Except you are the opposite
Accept you are the opposite

I don't have the same
Patience as you when it comes
To sensual fruits
MY WET PANTS, SCRUBBED OF POMEGRANATE JUICE, HANGING ON THE DOORKNOB
