10 years past, A 1 minute phone call To apologize for 3 years of heartbreak. Do I not deserve more? Another minute to tell me He is rejoining the church. There it is. I am one man’s checkbox On a list made by another To join a sacred club That […]

Sweet On Me
Linger between dreams and dew drops a while longer, darlin’. Before the drapery burns with day, grant my loitering trespass, temple to toe. My bite may wake you, but how can I resist when you are so sweet on me?
Otherwise
I say, “I’m fine,” otherwise, He’ll say, “I’m sorry to hear that.” Another lie through our masks. Can we please stop? Stop going through the motions To spare others The burden of being human? Instead, Swallow me in a bear hug, already, Compress me until my eyes run dry. Fold […]
Can You Ride
Crab pots and peach pits, flagstones and biscuits Guard the beard on your chin, fully stocked adrenaline Cesar comes and he goes, spin his top, let him flow Where he pops, we don’t know, will he stop, no no no Are you high like Cesar? Will you fly like Cesar? […]

Exhibit One
Strewn self serve legal papers and a collapsing curation of unfinished ideas illuminated by a warm peek-a-boo sun. My dream of Nihon preserved in a clay mug of cold tea. Good intentions obscured by Now, Late, Eventually. The disarray, a masterpiece of my own creation, as am I my greatest […]
I Wanted to Reach Out
For affirming clarity And the home in your voice Dissolving jagged agony From every clutched breath To post my mending hands On your face and your chest Releasing the torrents of starvation and absence May I have this dance? Conjuring alchemy in our bones We are outside of Time and […]
