In Fairy Tales

we walk through our snowy world..

don't blink

why?

there are colder places in your eyes &
I want to catch them for the map

post-it notes

i am lost -
have you loved me
lately

~~~~

too late -
i'm going back
to hating
your

~~~~

if only i
believed
you -
i would surely love
you

~~~~

don't mind me -
i'm just your backseat
lover

~~~~

without my pussy
cat
i'm just a dog without
a bone

~~~~

when i’m gone
you’ll wish
i’d never told the
truth

~~~~

i said never -
and i’ll never say that
again

~~~~

i watch always now
the place
you left me behind

~~~~

you asked
for the truth -
i should have known
better

~~~~

you said you’d be
back
but never said when -
i wait, still

the philosopher's stone

ramalinga turned into light
and tried to give it away

a recipe:

1) dissolution
2) a raven's head
3) albedo
4) a peacock's tail
5) distillation
6) a fixation
7) polish the stone with sun


sitting on the chaise
taking in light, she walks by
she's new
golden haired in the parking
lot an hour later

imagine pulling out
of the universe, then
diving back in.

Affairs of the Heart

It is poetry
when the wind murmurs
Slav melodies in your ear

It is poetry
when your finger forms her name
on top of the water

It is poetry
when the thorn turns
to the pink of a rose

Poetry is
giving a name
to a river that separates us
and doesn’t exist

It is poetry
when the barb of the arrow
brushes to the side

the air molecules
at the surface of your forehead
and for a split

visual moment you read
on the tip of the arrow
I love you
as it pierces
your third eye
and heart

sometime during the night
rain begins to gather

in misty sheets
wrap trees in gossamer halos

drift in starlit mantles
to cover the grass

cast a grey veil over strangers
wandering home from unknown nightlives

Mercury slides down the barometer
like a stripper down her pole

you cuddle behind me
like a blanket of sunbeams

and we watch the sun
burn night from the sky

Missing Piece

I saw in you a place cut
to the shape of me
and thought I spied
finally
a place where I might fit

summer ends
where fading light
delineates
a paper cut in the sky
that almost fit
the shape of I

please don't drink till I'm home


I'll call you from work


hit me when I come


you were upset


we sit in a coffin

I told you that your hair looks good,
5 times last nite!
