Ophelia
Ophelia resurfaces
calm. displeased.
Her silence has kept her alive
the watery cell became her healing place
She learned how to breathe under water
how to make love to slick things
with tongues like fine leather
eyes that see everything
cold things,
with no regard for her slim neck
colors that forced her eyes open
forced Ophelia to know herself
sounds that would make violins cry
still fill her mind
make her smile
O. learn how to wear vulnerability
like a badge, how to use calm as
a weapon
...

i found fault with everything
everything
married to melancholy and poe
before you
entered
my life and capsized this small heart
i pressed flowers, named them and
crushed them, sprinkling their essence
on unforgiving stairs
indifferent sidewalks
and cold subway seats
now you come
to me
filled with the night
exhaling stars into my once lonely mouth
sighing verses into blushing ears

A wonder at life list.
1. A rainbow of umbrellas after a storm
2. A room filled with antique mirrors
3. A girl with a thousand longings
1a. A small boy reaches for the yellowest umbrella,
his mother never sees him again.
b. The boy laughs all the way across the sky.
2a. A young David Bowie dances from mirror to mirror
his unquenchable desire to gaze at his own image turns violent.
b. Bowie slaps the smallest mirror broken and laughs deeply.
3a. A teenage girl with straight black hair and gleaming collarbones
sits alone in her bedroom and...

You
I prose for
you
poem just for
you
Teach me to taste
the lament
that runs through
you
and now
through my
verse
I poem for you
only
I circle your soul
an impatient
moth
no fear of the
flame
I light into your
being
and
swallow your pain
inhale the goodness
in you,
that you've forgotten
my ink
my blood
scribble into your
heart
gathering red
mercy
love
passion
my love
unshakable
I poem for you

adultery
adultery should have been harder
harder to accomplish
and harder to bear
instead this beginner found solace
and satisfaction with a lover
not free to be hers
her expense for the affair was
perfume the price of rent
movie star hair
and being in control
learning how to dominate
speak low and soft always
lick and kiss like a whore
grant her lover the reality of
fevered imaginings
once thought
unattainable
her emotions were so dusty
she choked on her own
ruthlessness
...
