Planche de Chair Cuite

...She was not invited

She was arranged

They never wanted Jasmine

and pomegranate soap 
who harmonized soliloquies into pastries 
while th...

Stone Soup:
Quite A Feast!

But He Hovered
Hanging Over It
To Use It
As A Loo.

That's No
Blessed Angel!
Ruined A Good

IN A GILDED INSTANT

...IN A GILDED INSTANT

The monarch’s wings opened as a picture book, fluttering by. It glided, uncertain but undeterred, through a gentle haze of gold and shadow, the garden’s...

Touch of the Spirit

...Touch of the Spirit

That hovered over a shapeless abyss 
My understanding
Stretches - reaching for 
This tantalizing scent of divinity
And a fluttering touch

Still Holding the Phone

...And you never knew—
how many times I stood on the edge of your name,
typing and erasing,
drafting words that felt too fragile to send.

I wrote the messages,
but never set them free.
My thumb ...

Sued for Outstanding Balance

...
We used to call it Pit City.
Section eight housing.
My mom called ahead—
I was sixteen and still scared
to ask for what I needed.

I was on work-study
at a clean family practice
just around...

Unscheduled Departure

...I had not woken from sleep.
Feeling weightlessness, I peeked,
observing my body laid decease.
Slowly arisen to uncalmly peace,
realizing that I had passed in sleep.
Abnormal emotions so confused...

They Taught Me Manners, Not Consent

...They taught me

like a handkerchief in my pocket,
clean, unused,
never to be raised,

They taught me
to sit like a question
that dared not be asked,

A Fly Taught Me to Fly

...It came like a whisper
on wings too dirty for angels,
a fly with no gospel—
just bloodlust and fire.
I don’t remember the bite—
only the stories they told me—

not the low drone of memory,
but the sharp, electric flick
of a question with wings.

Languorous molten air,
a stone canyon furnace,
and there!—
a hummingbird—

A DARKER SHADE OF BLACK

...A darker shade of black.
To keep the shadows from peeking back.
A dimmer shade of dark.
Keep the fear out from my heart.

As I closed my eyes I drifted off to sleep.
Lying wide awake as darknes...

Tangerine Sky

...Lost and floundering in an unwholesome fog, 
time stood still as if in a freeze-framed mental log; 
roiling clouds swirled and hovered beneath the sun, 
tangerine streaks sketched on the horizon. ...

The chairs were full. I hovered at the stem
of every plan, then vanished with the night.
A window cra...
