POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
focused
untitled
a crow swaying on the wall,
ashes drifting aloft,
frigid squalls, neon rain, dark
cloud rumbling,
ghosts toiling beneath a bridge,
the black beneath the blue,
a midnight session,
another
mid-winter
phantogram
in monochrome,
the crisp, white sand,
dirty, black clasps
of steel,
cemented, i stick like ice
against the mountains,
breathless, tumbling
through labyrinths
in search of a smol, black bird,
translucent, white cord.

not enough varnish
lesson of the day is:
'nothing lasts forever'
like wayward ash
geronimo-ing from
a cigarette on a
windy day in april,
like a river running dry,
or big ol' double rainbows,
vacations, and
ice cream in the sun,
candles burning
through their last
inch of wick,
or
someone you love
performing ...

cocoon (mercy dream #5)
rumbling,
ambient billowing,
from far away
a train approaching,
and inside, her frame
baroque and
spinning elegantly,
a pearlly-white shell,
hoisted, suspended
in thin air, spinning
until it comes undone.
*
she arrives in time to emerge
at dawn, and the morning
birds sing a song
with her in reclamation,
soon even they learn the brass
of her tongue,
and the bells of her lungs,
snippets and sonatas,
the treble cleft
of might,
her...

i'm a creep, i'm a winner
i.
amazing!
...the way she makes sense of it all.
she knows so well
the secret language
of loot and hoots and
refrigerator magnets;
and i am but a moth for this flame.

mirada
levitating--like spires
in her mind, a
hurricane,
slow like salted snails,
unable to disengage,
like god itself
came and snatched her far away,
a remarkably full empty gaze,
deep like unmapped cosmos,
she rides these massive currents...
...ever tumbling through
a quiet, violent tide,
always
right before
a pirouette in grace -
comes her moonlit valor.

ffunny ffriends, the way
they spit some schtick
and dip as quick as
satan ffell from heaven,
ffunny ffamily, the way
whispers paint the kennel
black and blue like ghosts
suckling veins on a carousel of "love,"
ffunny fflame, the way
the sky opens before god
grabs you by the head and
takes you ffar away,
away.

event horizon
vivid evocation:
the first night
i slid over you like rain
over damp earth on a hill,
a midnight tune
transmorgrified,
a dawn song,
white linen,
scarlet curtains,
busted tv,
no playstation,
but we weren't bummed -
too busy being lost
in irises.

i.
you've pegged
me as a kiwi -
fuzzy, surprisingly
sweet inside.
that's thoughtful,
and reciprocation's key,
so i've given it a lot of thought.
i'd say you're an apricot!
sweet,
like a peach,
juicy,
rosy, delicate,
soft.
ii.
sans sarcasm:
i've never seen
a woman look
so drop-dead
gorgeous in
burnt mustard
and coffee stains.

she's legendary.
always has been,
always will be.
*
i've known since the marriott,
since watching her breathe
phospenes and devise
gravity in that room,
since witnessing the luster
of her eyes--the colors
subtly shifting, her gears
always turning,
wit
and...
always has been,
always will be.

and how the seas roiled,
the skies turned black and fell,
winter wind cut deep
into the bones--veins
knotted, braincase melted,
the taste of regret
lodged in my esophagus...
but love endures.
love is placid, patient, pure.
*
and tonight i'm her knight in tinfoil -
smiling in my sleep,
even in my dreams
i kneel to her everlasting light.

little roses,
little skulls
and leaves on velvet,
laced
red on
black
on cake
in heaven -
a spaceman's haven--doing laundry
for his queen.

i rediscover your name.
