Current Obsessions
Never that
to be obsessed
to love more than bearable
to live on the air inside a bubble
no never that
Speedballs
beyond skin pops
a warm groin sensation
spreads to your fingertips
never a monkey boy
Junk
in a nightstand
a one night stand
stand on one leg
to perform handstands
Current obsessions tend toward
shimmery purple dusk
when creatures come
in their palms coins
offered as sacrifice
Sometimes there is
a sad man
waiting for a trollop
to be a lollipop
with a big pink bubble of gum
Through the Trees
Through the trees
bonfire bright
did you see the flames
Log upon log
tinder and my tender heart
waiting watching
The flames flame then
die wood
becomes embers
stirred by branched memories
Lights at tunnels end
leading to conclusions
that do not fruit
Sunrise slithers
among the smoke
choking the last glow
of you and me
leaving the residue
of tearless goodbyes.
