The cold black flats
of cadillac slats.





He bites his little tongue
Those seething words
still flicker their way
through his cruel teeth.
Ring around the ring finger.

into
Georgia's west
coast insurance
and liabilities
oceans away.
Nylon run
run
run down
that little calf
on the street.
keep.
keep.
Telephone away,
I can't hear a thing.
My heart
has shrunk
into a
tight ball of twine
stone stiff

or you'll just
stand still
Breathe. Then swim.

Incubate, Rebate

Left handed

handed people.
Earthquake
shattering
sigh of relief.
Followed by
eyes lit up
so bright,
they blind
all that is
around.
Out of existence.

Not so old, and oh so found.

The cascade mountains
have once again
wished themselves
a happy birthday.
The wind blows out their candles.
The sun ruins their
white hats.



Solitary And Sedentary



A triangle on the
wrist
marks the spot
your lips have
kissed.

Your
One.




Manta Ray span
from fingertip
to lovely fingertip.
A brush across my hip.
And pages turn
of favorite fiction.
The words,
they run
across my chest.
I pull them in
and let them go
all but one and three.

contained comforts

clockwise moves around
the land
up and over
these tree lined minds

replicate that moment
over and over
our starry eyed stares
we saw right in.

Biorhythmus

Arms pointing up
Wrapped about your neck
Far reaching
Fingertips
The brush of lips
Above our heads
Treetops
Their black silhouettes
Wave to us
The bloom at our feet
The salt sea air
Blows upon my throat
Beneath my jaw
Where you put your hands

Out of Doors

A Dead Man's Breast
Heart Sank Deep
Beneath the Sheets
The Papers Strewn
Across the Room
and Down the Hall
{we go}
Out of Doors
Birds their Wings
Criss Cross the Skies
Wet Stone Underneath
We Run Through Streets
The Lime Light Dims
Into Ever Lasting
Grey.
