Illegitimate Child
I was born in absence—
not just of a father,
but of the myth of one.
Raised by silence,
I searched for manhood
in shadows and wounds.
My name is Oedipus rewritten—
not in fate,
but in affection never given.
My sister wears men like seasons,
because no one taught her
what protection felt like.
A home is soul-architecture:
a mother to nurture,
a father to protect.

Monday Mandate
At his readiness, medley reduced to romance
Pure patched with strategy, pony Rosinanthe
Slick sleuth rotund from a thousand tutorials
Ideality frisked into quixotic filly deplorable
Avid lover Danton handles haggard hill

Let us unite and lighten our hearts heavy as lead
Cause success

Illegitimate Artist Child
Being
an artist.
What does
she see?
Really?
Is she
part of
her dreams?
Or did
DNA
take place
in her
believing?
Is she
an original
piece?
Or
just a
hodge podge
mess of
family history?
You tell me.
What
makes her
artistry real?
Is she
really
a feeling
creative
being?
Or
just a
product of
random
desire taking?
A
young man
in back of
his car.
Looking for
sex.
In a
young girls
sickness.
Not
looking beyond.
What
they've created.
Wanting with
an
unabashed
nakedness.
An
artist child.
Ashamed of
her making.
Living in
the world.
That
judges the
taking.
