Trolling

I’d like to write something
smooth and sensual
as clean-shaven legs
sliding into silk sheets
the black lace teddy
already half off
back to breast
lip to thigh
breath caught
then released
like some slick trout
of ecstasy.
But I’m......Read More

Brad Dourif
pretending to be Love—
completely against type
but strangely apt.
Something so terrifying and messy
about opening ourselves
so completely
to some other someone
that feels like death
if not dismemberment

Life's Apprentice

It’s only a school of hard knocks
if you’re stubborn
and won’t listen
to the nudges it gives
from time to time.
Granted, everyone takes
a left hook or two
on the kisser
(even if they are paying attention)
but it’ll only kick you
if......Read More

Junk Drawer Wars

It opens to chaos
and while searching
some will shift
while others straighten,
exchanging effort
for order.
Entropic,
we are bound
to the path
of least resistance.
Systemic application
of energy
differentiates enthalpy
from the other--
as if even Einstein......Read More

Fixing Flesh
|
and who would’ve thought
it’d be these hands—
callused, scarred,
stained black
by diesel and dirt
dark rings of dirty oil
like some satanic French manicure;
hands that fix forever
flywheels and crankshafts,
camshafts and manifolds
that would......Read More

The Plain and Simple Truth

to not being beautiful:
you can go out dancing

of losing who you thought you were;

I want it to be me
|
As arogant as it is
I want to be the one
The one who is brave
who strides, confident
casting shadows
expressive, eloquent,
fierce.
I want my words to resonate

of who you are
to pull you
like a river from its bed
to some new truth.......Read More
