Where is the girl I used to know
Has she fallen by the way
Was she crushed upon the wheels of fate
Growing up, she couldn't wait.
I tried to be supportive
To every move.
She grew away from me . . .

I wear my desire
Like a tattoo on my wrist
Like a washcloth hanging over the kitchen sink tap
Like pea vine tendrils cutting through snow.
I wear my desire in the palm of my hand
Held . . .

Our rosin powders mingle in the case,
Where, fallen from the belly and the bow,
Each particle trapped in the velvet space
Becomes our common . . .

Sometimes the closest friend can ask too much
While roses bloom and promises are made
That are not kept because you are afraid,
And then . . .

In the Supermarket
Is he a footman or a charioteer?
A few yards down the aisle his busy wife
Selects the treats and staples for their life,

With its dark swell and lambent foam
Is forming words enticingly
That conjure and describe for me

Love looms like a giant shadow.
He blocks my flight, and touches
me with hands like forged steel.
Like a doe escaping . . .

Petrification
Before the cock crows
My heart hardens. Crystalline.
Blue veins in marble.

Metamorphosis,
As thrice I deny your love.
I am become rock. . . .

in the still of night,
you come to me
and my soul takes flight,
soaring to heights
I've never known.

You are my undoing.
My voice trembles
in your shadow, . . .

Seagulls fly on a salty ocean breeze.
Always consumed in the presence of you,
I feel myself thaw from winter's harsh freeze.
We run and frolic . . .
