Love And War

Splaying fingers part

Peace Sign over lips
Breaking the seal
I
Thumb my tongue
With you at war

Broken Constellation

Star fallin'
Cast too fast
Far too sudden
Sullen

Open hand
Blows birthday candles
Wavering waving
Wonderin'

Illumination

Reason perfected is nonsense
Name of God ineffable
The secret of life
that kills on sight:

Fountain of youth
spewing venom

Mouth Cum

This kiss
goodnight
long an' wet
tongue far reaching
penetrant

intimate
...mmm.. .
...mouth cum....
slickly sweetest salivant
poet dreams inside you
wet

Dollar

Another day spent chasing a dollar
- I'd far rather have a doll
to bounce and ball her

Overworked and underlaid
I'd rather spend
in far more sensible ways

That Space

I remember the space
that where
we like to be

calming jittery fingers
paint sculpt writing

indelible intangible
between eternal hours
this
here is now:

leaving the fleeting

True

She said the most hurtful things
words painful piercing
torment torture ringing

And I wish I that were
obliviously unaware

Only because
I know such
in part for share
to be true

Still This

Still this
quiet sense of resignation

...remains...

raw gnaw
unnerving

I wrestle with sensibility

provokes propels
it plagues me

Daisies

I have daisies
for Misses Murphy
soft tender sheets
finest felt flannel

the meadow stains white
white dusking contour
white the colour
our silhouette shadowed
