Ours was daily mysterious,
sometimes near mystical, 
rapture;
a sensual yet platonic
dorm-mate love affair,
within the only male grad student corridor
at SFSU.

He was the presumably straight Vietnam veteran
southern white good ol' boy,
athletically studying Japanese,
with a gentle passion for...

Sight
Your eyes are riptides, they've pulled me in,
To the torrent beneath your grin.
I'm slowly drowning, within your depths,
Sinking into what from me you've kept:
A heart whose echo in me resides
While mine in you shall only...

Old mother Hubbard got locked in her cupboard
But not just the cupboard was bare
She let out a yelp but nobody could help
Because there was nobody there 

She’d make this assertion, there was no perversion

To the extent of brutish masculinity – defined as stubbornness.
Oh Majesty! of all...

silently exorcised, ostracized, and vilified
Impossible mission to resuscitate...

(for those in Kwangju: May 18, 1980)*

Taking this peach within the mouth, the tongue

I failed in love

Held it so briefly ...
