ErinErin, for a girl who embodies Ireland

bright carrot—and her milkmaid-pallid skin,

One More Rosey TripI'm off on the beaten path
with Little Rosey in my grasp
There's palm fronds like a giant clock,
twenty hands instead of two
And there's the honeysuckle bush
that suddenly broke through
the gap in my neighbor's greenhouse
"Bonnie!" she insists
"Bonnie...

O, September, I feel the subtle scents of dandelion days melting into oblivionO, September, I feel the subtle scents of dandelion days melting into oblivion,
Like spring waterfalls of delirious diamonds collapsing into the abyss of memory,
While sentimental sapphire memories flow among clouds of color-blind cruelty,
Revealing how the...

Awaking From Stupor
When the enchanted
jailors of life,
siezed my soul

own silence,
chained by
granite wings of
masked butterflies,

faded universe,
dreaming poetry in
susurrus serenades
of rustling
ruby-leaves which
whisper cool
beamish hues
to my autumnal-
quartz heart,
when the nucleus
of unborn flowers,
wishes for a
meditative
musing amidst
this mocha...

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

Flamingo-minted, pink, pink cheeks,
dark hair streaked with a lisp of dawnlight;
I have seen your shadow creep
through eerie webs spun out of twilight...
And I have longed to kiss...
