Out in the middle of the boundless sea,
As far away from land as ever it could be.
An island stands alone with water all around,
And the very whitest beaches that ever could be found.
At the center...

I  cannot recall my very first place 
as a baby I did not know my home; 
a new baby's room dressed with pretty lace 
dad's dog was under the crib to watch~roam.

Out of depth, I have cried for you,
In all my breath, I speak of you,
My soul waits, my soul mourns,

Once upon a time,
a heart beats with bliss.
As the clocks chime,
we part with a kiss.

As you fade away,
the snow blinds my eyes.
I pray as I stray
under various skies.

The tiny glow wanes
as I hold it to...

The bra strap drops,

it clings to my shoulder.

Each inhalation makes the fabric vibrate. 

My hair drips water on my chest.

It penetrates the skin and within.

Me sitting on the edge of the bath tub, 

pondering, 

wondering,...

bone and flesh and blood and
nakedness

Days we must repeat. 
Days stored like fields of wheat
grown on...

Room dimly lit
Clutter and dust
97.1FM newest Jam
Faintly heard
In the background
Along with
Humming sounds
Chanting from the computer
Squeaky chairs
Paper shifting
Telephone ringing
In adjoined office
Shared with my co-worker
Avoiding intrusion
We talk in a whisper
Looking in each others
Eyes
Sexual Tension
Energy
Bouncing off of us
Heartbeats...

An old man came on with one...

Out for a clandestine walk in the dark wood,
I kept my curls covered with a bright red hood.

Out Of Water

Eternal suffering
Fresh cleansing rain,

Harmonic smells so wonderful,
restores impressions in your mind of ocean shores

Rainbows of prism refracting,
colors that are spellbinding
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, Indigo, violet
mixtures mystifier of lights and shadows aver

Cleansing the...

Cicadas squeak in unutterable frequency
out in the wilderness. There is one pallor
face overlapping with the foliage. Tousled
hair and sloppy shoulders--she frees her
girdle. It kisses the cigar in her hand.

Willows weeping, washing her image
away. Her silhouette...

in the public square
you are not to be questioned
just admired 
      for your dark demonstrations
of being

the hanging black spider waves its life at you
perhaps the arachnid lover is demoralized
