The Dove
The last stage
imago
when the butterfly
breaks the chrysalis
the mother's arms open
and the newborn dove
is borne aloft
by powerful wings
away
from the legions
of the night....

Imago
An Image attaches itself
to something you once touched or smelled
sending waves echoing inward.
You forgot about it
yet now it twists itself around a memory
one you had never thought to name.
Behind your eyes your mind is an apparition.
This thing you see
is perceived through fathoms of awakening flesh,
it returns now to catch fire from fire.
You search an emerging appearance
that has yet to paint its face;
watch it surface
going blind to the world...

Motes
Their forms have leaked into my mind;
women who have become
interchangeable body parts
in a chemical reaction I have with myself.
A female once undressed with a smile
seeps through closed lids,
another woman, once passed on a street
lived for years as a reoccurring fantasy;
she suckles an incubus,
born from a proliferant lust.
It returns to me now;
speaks as an imago and apprehension.
"Don’t worry father,
my crippled condition
can't be seen
behind your open eyes"....
