October 26, 2009































may i
slowly undress more
than your clothes?
thoughts of you in
an opera, dancing


your body,
like a jasmine petal . . .
folding


this night with
out stars or moon, invites
us to walk
through each other's brain
without a bathrobe


late noon . . .
talking hammer
to hammer


i only
think you're waving
at me, those
limbs, the synapsis of
my mind shorting out


what was
winter thawing . . .
those legs


how can i
interpret you are
there for me,
when anyone else
would cut my balls off


sun, why
do flee from the
sum at dusk,


on my bed
at dawn, blossoms
repeating
a yesterday
with chocolate eyes


the mayhem
of twilight dawn . . .
shaking limbs


orion
chases stars between
legs, moistened
with tomorrow . . .
winter deepens


chasing neon
the checker board floor of
cold winters


i don't
even know the who,
let alone
the 'you are' pulling
me out of madness


the cement
angel on top of
the strip mall
watches a tricycle
driver pick his nose


did he find
gold or was he
picking his
nose, the tricycle
driver deep in thought


she bowed
giving me her headband . . .
ichi ban;
her tears, petals
falling from heaven


restless sea
i too can draw light
from the moon


shy, the
waitress giving me
her headband . . .
'it's dirty,' she
whispered to my wife


sleep pulls me                                                                                                                                                                                                       into a world of cut-up
paper moons


close-eyed
under a tree singing
water,their
energy becomes oner
composing tonight


she asked me
if i'd kissed her . . .
winter haze


how sad,
the monkey with
emphesema
staring at the black
and white checkered floor


i danced with
a fast food hero,
sharing spring


stay with me
now, even if we
both fall
into an abyss
with sharpened teeth
