a write only dimly solvable

a poet wisely advised to
proudly accept 
all credits, while adhering failures 
to sacr...

Fake Anatomy

...
your silhouette
bleeds 
a background

Under the Influence

...I don’t know why I’m with her still
She’s a craving I just can’t kill,
She’s a habit I just can’t kick,
I’m an addict – she makes me sick

She burns like “China White” cut wrong,
Harsh as schwa...

It matters not whether pro or con
They all sing a sl...

Chapters of This Woman

...Chapters of this Woman

Who am I?
An unread story — 
a book whose cover is waiting to be opened 
for my pages to be stroked, to be turned,
my words to be ingested — to be heard.

Growing in storms dark brown and white as 
a Winter snow who am I who wil...

Free Love Take Some

...Proclaimed the poster

deafen the sounds of the screaming.
