Slither and Squeeze
eloquently espousing elitisms
suffocating pseudo sophistication
without effort
always at ease
slim and strong
slithering squeeze
round
around
immobilizing mild mannered mouthes
comfortably composed
enraging the unwillingly exposed

Fragmented Me
Don’t look at me, I’m hideous
“I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

Her Grass So Green
her grass ever green
linens crisp
clean
not a strand dares stray
nor garments fray
all that she is
coolly controlled
cleanly contained
by
her
pristine frame
The Burn of Reinvention
slick puddles of a rainbow destroyed
lay like bubbling ponds
in the boiling August sun.
Waiting patiently
to singe the skin off my feet
and leave in its absence
vibrant, waxy splotches
of fuchsia
and brilliant topaz
that make me New
and young
again

Melt in My Memories
“Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted”

All of You, Always
freckled sunlight flits through the waking waters
swimming swells and blushing waves
flushed with morning heat
implode in a froth at my feet
rapturously
recede
