I Love Chickpeas

your chickpea skin
my willing mouth
the mundane things
we talk about
your shadowed eyes
my bright despair
your barbered mane
my tussled hair
four confused hands
touch in the rain

Come Back Little Sheba

barnum would have been proud
bulldogs in too twos
embraces for show
disks and dark booths
raw raws
scaffolding on saxophones
Scotland-yards of curtains
damp mermen
virginia     sweet william 
and dollar bills in
the greatest broken worth

Sheet Tune

there are butterflies under the sea
and fish in the air today
willows wept over the moon
and stars giving
distance away
nothing is 
as it seems 
come here
let’s discuss 
it in bed 
where words 
lose their shapes
with their spurs
and fingers with lips
run in herds
let us interpret a rose
in the way that an ear
wraps around
and tasting each other
suppose 
we speak
from the tongues
of no talk
and stretch out 
our skin beyond
these outlines of bodies
we’ve chalked

Deconstructing Orange

Oh you peel the rind
from me
in the gentlest manner
and it falls away 
in fleshy strips 
of bitter 
citrine madness
where calloused there
in orange despair 
it wrapped
a fancied ripeness
your agile hands
palming round
separate each wedge 
I’d planned
with a tender tearing
sound 
and in your mouth
I am the sun

Contact Corn

Words fell through my mind
in plumber’s wrenches
you walked
through a room
my hands shook 
I kept pebbles in my pocket
to hold on to 

you
kicked at my desire
broad hoofed 
your head became
an Olmec icon
my fingers reached
reached for you
like skinny cobs 
of ancient maize
