Monofilamania
It is so hard to let go of love,
lovingly.

in all those years of lazy inches
in and out:
casting,
winding in and playing out,
hardly fishing, rarely catching
anything

deep cups of the red blossoms.

The swordsman who draws his blade
Heart racing at the keening of steel on scabbard
Tension coiled, poised for the unleashing
Held back by muscles tight with glee.

By many a shapely calf.
The Marshall called the nocking,
And winked at the pretty lass.
The Maiden drew the bowstring back,
To her ruddy cheek,
As she fired her fledgling flights;
They heard the fair Maid...

The Wine-Bearer

Thy stately form with wine-cup at thy breast.

A heavenly nymph of such celestial mien.
'Tis dawn—seize now the fortune of this hour,
Lest...

Things With Strings
THINGS WITH STRINGS
Spider's web, strings of stars,
a weaver's loom, and old guitars.
Balls of yarn, and DNA,
string bikini, and crochet.
Cats cradle, spools of thread,
Tails on kites, and hairs on head.
Theory in music, or in science,
together making...

I Fear the Night
I fear the night
I fear the night;
When thoughts of you
Stalk me like a ghostly hunter,
Eager for a taste of my soul.
Armed with Eros’ arrows
They come unheralded, treading
Silently; bowstring taut and
Softly humming in the flow of...
