walking

A soulmate?
There are only
those who love you
The cavernous consummation
of deeply loving them back
Foundation
of the flawed perfection
That catches your breath
Again

new publications!

Blair and I just got our issue of the Redivider in the mail! We're published in a book! Bound and everything. Swooning.



Tell the story again
Of when you fell in love with me

The only girl at the dance

In a short dress

clarity unobscured

Don't be afraid of the brights

Find someone who loves the light

another day

God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you?
God sometimes you just don't come through
Will you even tell her

if you decide to make the sky fall?
- Tori Amos

finders keepers

There is irony
In keeping things
While throwing out people

stories

the excitement
shimmies up my belly
fruitful thinking
to share
but i can't engage
unearth you
so i pose in my chair
i wiggle my ankles
eagerly
bounce
crafting the story
awaiting your return

today

If the universe and heavens
Work the way
I believe they do
The love of angels
Strength of a tiger
Stand with you

taffy thoughts

Love like taffy
Sticky
Sweet
Messy
Delicious
Never quite lets go

workout

Sweaty hair
Piled high
Haphazard bun
A wisp loosens free
trails down the back of her neck
lightly brushes
she shivers
reminded of your breath

Soulful

planning

You look happy.
(It's because I'm wearing a bright color. Your eyes just think I look happy.)
You do. That's a different smile. Tell me.
(How many times have I said that?)
Details?
Sometimes I tell my love that I have a plan, but the plan is something like, "Make the dinner reservation later." He's not sure that counts as a plan.
But it feels like you.
Yes. Because I know the intent and timeframe, and I can execute.
What does the plan involve?
Understanding my baseline.
Sounds scientific, and worthwhile.
Then?
Conscious choices.
Good. At some point, you need to embrace your needs. Value your complexity.
It's okay to need.
Maybe we'll tackle that tomorrow.

heh

Screw you people and your big, indignant, self-righteous boots stomping unnecessarily on my carefully cultivated relationships.

Love aside shadow
bridge between us

Why I came

less pretty

blood and fur
mingle together
at the bathtub drain
swirling beneath shampoo foam
melodramatic kitten morning
easier done with 2.

evening

I dressed up for you tonight
On an early date with a girlfriend
New earrings?
Yes
No, you're right, you haven't seen them before.
They're nice.
Thanks.
For noticing.
Eyes and lips
Tracing the light

first painting

It's been a day. Welcome to my foray into painting. Oils on wood veneer. Untitled, but suggestions welcome.

Painted to Pink's "Please Don't Leave Me," Beastie Boys, "Intergalactic", Rihanna, "Shut Up and Drive," Cake, "It's Coming Down," and Jay-Z, "Empire State of Mind," on repeat.

Has there ever been
a more beautiful day than this?
Walk through it with me
Together

the lady visits

She'll bring a car
And an overnight bag
And she'll use either
Or both
As needed

travel

Distraction of a kind
That only production
Provides
Tired minds
Sleep

walking

Hold my hand
as we walk down the street
Feel the curve of our hips
Sway together in time
drawing eyes
soft hands
comforting
playful
electric connection
they will know us
the secret sharers

easter

roll a rock aside
see what you thought you knew
do you have what you wanted?
or is it simply
Empty

spring

Excuse to wear dresses
Tickles a lady's pretty pink toes
Wiggle in the sunshine
And dance for the love of you

Mornings alone in bed
A lonely luxury
