her night-loving body

but accepted it as God's literal trans-historical Word

A New Mythology
There is a new mythology emerging,
Howling from the hind end of the pack,
Scorching the composted leavings
Of established orthodoxy as a pillar of flame
Showing the way for true rock & rollers.

Autumn Side Of September
In the middle ages
these roughed and scuffed decades
between newborn crocus -snow-melt-nursed- and
dried hydrangea blooms sepia-skinned and papery thin
I earned the right to wear sapphires
and burn mademoiselle mistakes with wisdom-fires
I collected years for years to earn...

Victim Or Predator

patiently waiting for her to grow up.
He knew all her movements, what

Secret Love, Two Searching Eyes
*Secret love, two searching eyes*
I
The early morning's languorous mild sun
Seemed jaded from a nightlong tiring jog,
And liked dawn's dew-mixed mirth nor glee of smog,
Nor some stray passing clouds' hide-and-seek fun,
Nor yet was...

We're Probably Getting Back Together Soon
My phone died this week.
I’ve ordered a new one—
I’d like to say I’ve enjoyed the silence,
just lo-fi music playing, slipping into a flow state.
But I’d be lying.
Only a handful of friends to tell.
Enough to register...

Anniversary
Husband and wife sit across from each other,
eyes meeting over that old kitchen table.
No words are spoken.
A girlish smile breaks over the wife’s face,
a grin follows across her husbands.
Faces they each know so well,

On being emotionally bankrupt
On being emotionally bankrupt
Sentient beings distraught
psyche rent asunder
courtesy false accusations
heated words exchanged like gunfire
pox upon the house of Deborah Hunter,
a vicious vindictive
girlish looking septuagenarian woman
buzzfeeding unfounded conspiracy
that the missus steals packages
ever since we moved...

A cold, cold autumn wind,
Tickles my edges to the frills.
Making me wave to the people,
And starts to give me the chills.
Now a stronger gust,
Lifts my silken body free.
My shiny red skin shimmers,
For all the world...

focused on pavement
eyes ever forward
with their get there stare of hedonistic servitude
trailing their marching tempo of mobile phones
hard in the glass

The Promise of Spring
When my hair was tied in two tails
I frolicked about the warped trunk of a willow
As the cicadas serenaded in the summer’s heat
The tree held me in its low arms
I watched nature pulse
