POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Haunted by Habit
please forgive me for withholding out of resentment
my whole hearted response.
now I know, scars come in pairs.
lick your wounds…
here is to your very worst fear:
i let him fuck me--both of us half-starved--in the bed you call "ours."
madly rushing over me like prey and prayer
moments connecting like iron fillings on a magnet
driving me wolf bitch wild
going in for the kill, and yet trapped beneath the muscular ache
of a man
gnawed by his own cannibalistic need to be touched.
unsure of my name but grabbing for a reckless...

Enough
The past comes at me:
An echo in a stairwell
A child’s wayward yo-yo
Rolling coins at the laundromat
Pinwheel shadows of a passing car
I can’t get back one second of our love
I’ve grabbed at the air for ropes
Stayed under water too long
Taken pills not subscribed me
Closed my eyes till colors burst from broken vessels
But, O for those moments we had
Wouldn’t you agree
One was too much
A thousand will never be enough?
An echo in a stairwell
A child’s wayward yo-yo
Rolling coins at the laundromat
Pinwheel shadows of a passing car
I can’t get back one second of our love
I’ve grabbed at the air for ropes
Stayed under water too long
Taken pills not subscribed me
Closed my eyes till colors burst from broken vessels
But, O for those moments we had
Wouldn’t you agree
One was too much
A thousand will never be enough?
