POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
.
the neck of life
my hands caress the neck of life
the thrum of her beauty pulses across my fingers
the eternal fire of her truth erupts in star burst
along my spine
she is divine
the wordless
inspiration behind
her words
impels the shape of me
from within to move without
unceasing motion
beyond death
the endless risk
of becoming
her lover
the thrum of her beauty pulses across my fingers
the eternal fire of her truth erupts in star burst
along my spine
she is divine
the wordless
inspiration behind
her words
impels the shape of me
from within to move without
unceasing motion
beyond death
the endless risk
of becoming
her lover

the hunt
blinded by day
you hunt for it
in the darkest shadows
you need the mirror of night
to see your prey
yourself
when hunted and prey are one
they are nothing
and everything
you hunt for it
in the darkest shadows
you need the mirror of night
to see your prey
yourself
when hunted and prey are one
they are nothing
and everything

conception
she was the last of 16
when her mother said
i'm done
let the oldest sister have her
and her own son
she gave away
to the church when
he was 9
and then he was 16
the last time
he his saw his father
whole bottle whisky drunk
a bloody Scottish brawl
a fractured jaw
the marines got him next
taught him how to kill well
not so much to love
the 3 daughters and dying wife
he left home during Vietnam
listed...

the pool of my wanting
eons have i risen and fallen
as cloud and rain
ignited by the flames of
your mother’s solar lust
a tropical sea in heat
in whorled frenzied tumult
have i risen
a lashing salt-wind tornado mountain
have i risen
a booming gale of light and rain
have i risen
swallowing continents
in my hungry dervish whirl
today the pool of my wanting
is serene, daughter of the stars
i am lifted invisibly to the sky
at your approach
and reflect the shimmering light
of our story into
your deep space...

eve of the year
a million people
standing in the cold
waiting for the stroke of midnight
for the fake snow
a show of light
a band to play
a kiss
and here i am
lost in a dream
of a hot yesterday
a pool
and a girl
i’ve yet to meet
standing in the cold
waiting for the stroke of midnight
for the fake snow
a show of light
a band to play
a kiss
and here i am
lost in a dream
of a hot yesterday
a pool
and a girl
i’ve yet to meet

in the beginning
God knew
the Fruit was trouble
but She gorged on it
the lure
of all possible
to heavy to contain
She burst
everywhere
forever
singularly lost
in everything found
later in the garden
talking to Eve
about the Fruit
it's all we ever ...

my veins drip on the page
sorry
if my veins drip on the page
with my red slick fingers
as your words
caused me to jump out
the glass window of my room and
wander in the night
drunk on air
hungry for your lips
crawling
back before dawn
broken but alive
to scribble
bloody thanks
for the smack in the face
to wake up
and live
if my veins drip on the page
with my red slick fingers
as your words
caused me to jump out
the glass window of my room and
wander in the night
drunk on air
hungry for your lips
crawling

to scribble
bloody thanks
for the smack in the face

fire in the snake’s eye
the body is holy
to kiss is to pray
-honey on the tongue:
a sacrament for the senses-
breast are the children of God
and the belly is a temple
where holy embers burn below
and divinity sleeps
she’s hungry
to feed your mind
and cries:
mind be body
mind be kiss
mind be honeyed tongue
mind be breast
mind be blood
mind be belly everlasting
flame and flesh as one
fire in the snake’s eye
snake in the fire’s belly
to kiss is to pray

daughter of the stars
you are
a daughter
of the stars
who sings of the love
for her mothers
but they all
shine
just to sing of
you
a photonic
symphony of
light
heat
that steams
the seas
to life
you make
me believe
in something more
than the material
you're ethereal
metaphysically erotic
hypnotic
terrestrial
celestial
the

mmm
ahhh

humming strings

at the grocery
the seething pulse
of the sun's heat
dripping golden blood
has fed her roots
swollen her cherry fruit
i whisper in her ear
i come to run
hot water
over your seeds
my bare hand dips in the
deep sack of shimmering
coffee beans,
dark chocolate, round
i bury my face in their fragrance
let them slip from my open palm
till only one is left
pressed by the flesh
of my fingers
insert the tip in the hole
of my parted lips
hard and smooth
like her erect nipples
like me

incandescent delirium
you confuse my needs and wants
i would starve for your lips
ignore the blue promise of water
in the green trees of the sand
the dream of your brown skin
my only oasis
i would starve for your lips
ignore the blue promise of water
in the green trees of the sand
the dream of your brown skin
my only oasis

even when
even when you are there you are always here
even when i have never touched you
i touch you in everything
even when you have forgotten me
i will always remember you
even when i die
i will have always lived
with you
in these words
even when i have never touched you
i touch you in everything
even when you have forgotten me
i will always remember you
even when i die
i will have always lived
with you
