unless you fight it off
(like underwear)
with a firm conviction
that it’s an unnecessary social
vice people simply haven’t realized
they’re better off without.

Sounds like Marriage
poetryI turn to you for
a kiss
and you offer me
a fart.
Leaflet
poetry “are we alive?”
dancing in the night
give us light
desert sand
a run for our veins
floating trees
purple rain
“are we real?”
fluorescent birds
half notes
crashing out in air traffic
of sky blue pain
“are we …?”
scattered keys
porous terrain
boundaries of grace
give us meaning
(a filling for our soul cavity
a rhythm to our decay)
peace to our howling scars
Gone but not Forgone
poetryIt’s been 36 hours
and with all
the smoke
and haze I
can still
smell you
on my fingers
but you’d
think it’d have
rubbed off
on the car
door handle
by now,
or the
cold side of
my pillow or
the shirt
I wore that
day.
