The Familiar Strange Part 1

"It was meant to be a mad romance from
the very start, love"

Nightmirrors

Like the Great Gatsby, he plunged, low
beneath her fabrics, too high for thought,
and far too dark and sick for excuses.

He poured himself empty where her affixed   
womb lie. He had his freedom, and she,
her PTSD.

I'm not quite sure what became of them   
that night, at the end, when the curtains
waved goodbye and the custodian mopped
up the blood.   

Perhaps she fell asleep as he rolled off and   
raped her dresser drawer. But maybe
they both lapsed into that place together,   
that so strange and elusive place where unknown   
people are known like books, like sonnets,
like lovers.   

He cracked his neck and sighed, topping off
the barrage of her deja vu with a whistled   
tune. "The End Of the World" by Skeeter   
Davis.

A familiar quirk all too engraven in her   
mind.   

(But he's a stranger. Right?)


Boys Will Be Boys

Just back from the sea-port and revving up
just like any other Navy boy fresh off the slab.
He never thought he'd miss the stagnant   
crystallized air of the sea, but he did.

"I need a smoke."
