Memory lane...

 particular tokens of little. your wizard hat is great chaos

ascending. my dress, scattered lustre. i have been writing

a harp machine for your new tongue. and let my thighs pour into

air

birds that fly back from the night

the cinema of your lips

_______________

Now You Say I Hold The Key

of course I do

my foot hooked to this bar stool

brain

drooling

shot glasses stacked

like poker chips

I’m a burglar

with a calisthenic soul

I have a crooked face

and a large milky bed

you can rest there

still as a toy

and in the morning

I’ll put on my white dress

and wash your skin

we’ll be eggs

fat as generals

solid as blood

we’ll be each others trigger-

happy punctuation

Not Poem Hands)Little Anything With Hands

your star eyes

hook me

but

continue

because no circling winks are lost

wanted –

a sun world

that creates the temple

of mushy want poems

more

shrinking beers &

I wrote this one

to the boy with the mini

belly button ring

his nodding face on my back

everything cube & cool

_______________

Once

he asked

where have u been?

beneath us the moon is giving it away

to water

& shiny things gently fold in

upon themselves

has something beautiful happened?

only upstream

your tree shouldered

slopes

are being coded with black silver
