POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I pull from the deep well for inspiration
Behind Rice Paper Walls
Behind rice paper walls,
she watches others cry
Turning, to face the old
windmill it looks away,
avoiding conversation
nervously spitting, stray
words she catches, as
they blow-by
Watering can rests, while
she paints it with obscene
colors, making it feel pretty.
It carries what her sorrows
have shed, the one's she
loves, the ones to die for.
False hope throws promises,
to grow something useful.
Lonely half-smiles sprout,
from the cracks of cups
she has tethered to her ...
she watches others cry

Moon Layng On Her Side
Rolling over the outskirts
of my life with your ego
deteriorates my edges
Spinal tap appreciation
holding an open syringe
"Avoid the navel with it's
Nymphaea wrapped around
my waist" you say quietly
Leftover voices from an
oblong sky you glean with
a rat tail comb saving the oily
strands that comment
on the moon laying on her
side like a centerfold xeroxed
onto shiny paper
Tobacco grows wild under
intense radiation
Knowledge gains strength
before it withers
Search the...

The Famish'd Bitch
I could hear your demise
unravel, from the floor of
your brain.
Along with icy clusters
of forget me not it's blossoms
withered
They twitch, with the air blue,
while it quivers, under
banished sunlight.
Glitter sticks on your lip
while laughter spills out,
like a tangled fern or a
grieving dove that sits
on your aching groin.
Your leftovers retrieved
from the boneyard by the
drug induced maiden.
The famish'd bitch, her
appetite slick with the
ointment of pitch.

Aphrodisiacs
Acrid filth initiates, harvest
Chalky bones provender, for
bastardized longevity.
Desperate music plays, from
the mouth, of a desiccated sun
Plastinated cadavers showcased
replicas of beauty, for the
quantified tourer
Sequencing marks in a
beaker of Corning
Drops of cum tally the eld
Gourmandizer of Amour propre
grasping juvenility sempiternal
Abnormal usance the naked
unprotected
Snakes, eels, Spanish fly
Sacrificial celebrations
Just a little more

Rose Colored Pueblos
Nicotiana, the deserts wild tobacco
surrounds the tarnished pueblo
Wood Rose, prolific throughout
the Arroyo provides shelter
for one stoic rabbit.
An old saki jar, home to a
single Cala Lilly watered, by
an old canteen
passed down, from an old
hermit who used to call
this home
