...Silent soul
Sitting next to the devil
Nobody knows

MIND
...Where inside this skull
(this soon to be abandoned cave),
is mind?

sensory grass
...sensory grass
tickles your toes

every word is a stroke
of a blade
not a brush
a lawnmower in the distance
breaks the silence
what the hell…

Museum of Me
...Diaries left open and letters framed,
chronological ink waving from a horizon, gone.
Clothes hung to recreate a wedding, a dance, a touch –
enclosed in glass cases to trap the scent inside.

Every wound is self inflicted
Go right ahead, go right ahead;
Pain soothed by being quiet

...In a mystery that starts with an abduction,
And ends in what might be the perfect crime,
I noted, with a sigh of resignation,
How evidence depends on space and time.

from every moment lived out of place and time
like the handprint of Paleolithic Art

just that you are bound by fear-
(and a couple incised wires)
watching me, enticed with pliers.
Naked, cold, taught, and crying,
you can't move, although y...
