Small Mutinies
"Small Mutinies"
So what if my point of view
is not that which wraps
you in comfortably warm
fluffed-up silky
cashmere blankets

muddying waters
cutting pristine lines...

By the Numbers

but it takes two
to make beautiful music,
so we’re told
Pitch perfect
That one favorite song two lovers have,
it never gets old
After ninety nine repeats,
it sounds one zero zero multiple...

MEMORIES OF WAR

whilst they sucked
genitals like bonbons

After hiking on the trail one day, I was making my way back,

The Double House
I was charged one morning with the task to consider,
That certain notions of who I was,
Had merely become a pretext for avoiding
Becoming someone else.
In the world I faced a new coordinate system was needed.

Nightingale and Roses

listening to the nightingale with roses

updrafts thick with loose spores,

sprawling
behind caulked-over creases.
The day,
shrinking away heavy with time,
as a body
sagging
into
water.
