I was lying in the sun, Near juniper shrubs and storybook villas. Not enough profit and pleasure in the telling of, The tapping of a cigarette, The brush of bare knees, A long draught of wine, Closing the shutters on balconies, With blinds made of lace at Angel’s Bay. Red watermelon hues. I’ve read […]
Becoming Another
I am obligated to remember this; being small. For weeks I recall nothing at all. Once I was ordinary, Lying under another’s sequoias tree. When it thundered, I hid in a pit. A Cratus is among us, His three siblings too. Mother, I am becoming another. I must swallow it all. I have never known, […]
Bitten by Bad Nature
Some blue waves already blacken the oceans. The butterfly on its own wing. The family wolves, With their contributions to a complicated labor. Naked ominous spaces, They too are bitten by bad nature. Waterloo’s smoke of its old war. Carcasses of great trees to sweeten New York’s woods. The private grounds litter women who […]
The New Boys
X has a new boy. He’s predictably boring, but with it comes weekends, For which Monday, Tuesday made. Last week I retired alcohol when it graduated me to despair. But with it comes weekends, For another love affair. It’s Friday night and I’m sacrificing psychological warfare, To meet X’s new boy and boy’s friends […]

That must have been the sun!
That must have been the sun! A peak at amethyst As perfect as it can exist The frenzy she failed to resist Began the year with the relativists. A time that was white like phosphate bones, Bottles of hormones A doctor’s prescription like a tombstone That nearly sent her to the unknown. Sure it guided […]
fan his fire
In the eye, a kindling light. Awakening to the beam, A lasting dream! Colder than a brisk reality, Here eternity must be. Here you find yourself alone, Know it is not a tombstone. Now you may admire That distant fire, Far from the mildew empire.
Pamela’s last will & testament
Pamela was 15. She was sitting at Ben Frank’s on the Strip, Clutching a letter she would never have the guts to lick, seal, send. She would thank God for the downheartedness years later. She saved herself from a bourgeois trial separation from him in her thirties. But for now, She is 15 and […]
Writing in Devanagari
I’m no ragdoll, but this could snowball. Maybe it’s just protocol, but its ethanol. I think we got off to a bad start. A morning depart, perhaps a forewarning. You say not to take it to heart. A mad sound you call fine art. It is a slow crawl, I recall the frequency. At […]
Haikus
