Premium MemberSoftly, She Lobbed the Serve 'Cross My Heart

  
     Softly, she lobbed the serve across my heart
         it fell harmlessly on my arm
      Intended not to tear me apart
         only a harbinger of harm  

     Her game gained traction soon enough
        darts and arrows whizzing ‘cross the net
     Stung my forehead where I once was tough
        her ringing accusations captured the first set

     My counsel – my coach – gave me his advice
        not to fight fire with fire, which never works
     He’d seen it fail not once, but twice
        wouldn’t let me look like a jerk… 

     Alas and alack, to no avail, as a forehand smash
        won her the trophy, the kids, and all my cash


Premium MemberBotticelli Unmasks the Perp


lost words are wolves hunting
heat from the herd, raw desire
one day less alone
 
American prom night
youth-swept hair moussed down in place
cigarettes light, poof
 
there goes Mary's lamb
water pail swings from her jaw
blind to the boil ahead
 
it begins like a bath
soft as the sun's seduction
quiet as a rack
 
back window fogs up
fingers paint shapes on car's cave
condensing moments
 
it was kilning day
he, my substitute art teacher
ersatz guardian
 
photos of his kids
near the hearth of his grandma's 
basement fireplace
 
I was a student
thirteen is an innocence
despite the heated clay

Sandro knew his kind,
let's call him Terry Carter
because that's his name
