It starts with
one heavy hand
pushing down the notches of your spine
like vertical piano keys.
One light hand tucking in the
comforters around your
steamy, white glass globes.
And out of nowhere
you become aware your head's popped off,
and it's rolling down your lap
like summer sweat,
until it plops onto the floor,
a strange ripe fruit
cleaved from an overburdened stem
and tortured stalk –
it emanates the soft fermented scent
of dreams,
attracting first the scouting shadows,
then the flicking tongues and warped anatomies
of many nameless things,
that spit and spin a web of tempests and tornados over you
and play like wit

Lonely Millennium Tonight
It's a Lonely Millennium Tonight
A g(lance);
out a scared, discouraged window,
to rain-slicked pavement
cracked like the gravestone of that crazy old man
who lived down the street all alone;
impales
what might have been that ugly red plaid hat
you always wear
if these were better times.
But God's running for president,
and these are the days
when your touch is the shadow
of my empty glass at the bar,
the blood running up
the splintered temple of a nameless teenage girl
(me? you?)
crushed in the cold steel embrace
of a two ton Chevrolet,
and the breath of some overweight slob on my neck
one step behind in
It\'s a tragedy
when Neptune drowns in sympathetic,
apathetic mutterings of long-dried
tears not yet cried;
immunized with platonic chronic memories
to suck away the lust.
Sacrifice the sun!
And Venus boils blood to dust;
tasting of alizarin carmine,
wine spiked with arsine,
a secondhand heart left to rust.
It was just for fun!
It's a tragedy
when Hades, wearing sorrow like a glove
and force-fed words of love,
in the fusion of his sweet delusions sees:
strangled lace and smothered satin,
and the blind, deaf, dumb (wo) of (Man)hatten.
What's done is done!
And Hera crushes dreams.
Prophesizing absolution scream
Hey there! I thought you might be interested in knowing that I've done a drawing of you from your photo "Hello Sunshine" (which is particularly adorable, I might add). There are two versions: [link] and [link]
