His love incarcerates her heart
Like a prisoner captive in shackles
Inescapable
All consuming,
Overwhelming
Like a magnet to its metal.

I’ve captured your thoughts
and found
you’ve crushed my ideal.
I hold your hope hostage,
your dream at knife point.
You see my fear
and turn the knife,
impaling the vision
of what could have been.
My back to the ground,
your breath cruel,
I pound your streak of mean
And find my own.
A battalion of unspoken words,
heavy with grimace
turns your face to the dirt.
Effective strategy
incarcerates your grief.
Master of artillery,
I’m triumphant.
Today.
A decorated veteran
of emotional warfare.

Alley dog who models matted coat,
Incensing clothiers at Fifth and Main--
You have no proof you are a legal dog.
One day you knew the power that you are.
Beneath a stack of cast off tires you saw,
You felt, you tasted in a dumpster's steam.
So now you strut through uptown parking lots.
Dog, in a paved field sniffing, please beware
Of skies with signs that hide your ritual moon.
The warden comes to rid the streets of strays,
Incarcerates you, pending no appeal
And executes you for the common good.
Someone has to own you, otherwise
You get the gas. Your crime is being born
Where being does not count, but owning does.
And when they catch you--be assured they will--
And bind your miracle with lethal law,
Bite them for this mongrel poet, too.
