POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Concision and Paradox are my weapons of choice. I'm a haiku fiend and an imagist.
WIND
I'll be your second wind
Whispering
"You're wonderful"
When you're too tired
To remember

Put me inside it—
Oak rim dangling shells and beads
For me to look at
READY FOR THE ADULT-SIZE CRADLE

A little of the cold
Came in when you left.
It had to.

I casually
Burned myself on entry to
Your blazing furnace

HOW I AM HAPPY
Stripped down in front of you
Wanting to seem tough
Knowing they had something
I needed
Something I had earned
Shaking
Had to keep my cool
Not easy
You held me after
How I am happy after all this
Is the mystery of you
Wanting to seem tough
Knowing they had something
I needed
Something I had earned
Shaking
Had to keep my cool
Not easy
You held me after
How I am happy after all this
Is the mystery of you

THE POWER COUPLE
Their photo:
A grenade of beauty and activism—
My head explodes

"CHITTERING"
An adjective found
With you watching subtitles
Of so many films

I’m sweet
I need to be
Invited in
Garlic fries
Me underneath
My skin
My eyes
Can’t stand
The light of sun
Fly with me
And the night
Is won
OLDSCHOOL VAMPIRE
I need to be
Invited in
Garlic fries
Me underneath
My skin
My eyes
Can’t stand
The light of sun
Fly with me
And the night
Is won
OLDSCHOOL VAMPIRE

Covered in oil
I will soon become
An edible portrait
Of my own explosion
POPCORN

She hugs me
When she types
Upon her phone
She hugs me
Even when
She is alone
When she types
Upon her phone
She hugs me
Even when
She is alone

EXALT
The things you teach me—
Knowledge I can't flaunt, except
To the universe

I adapt to you
Though I don't need to
Because what you see
Is me
You adapt to me
Though you are free
Some things take two
To do
Though I don't need to
Because what you see
Is me
You adapt to me
Though you are free
Some things take two
To do
