reptile contemplations

snake skin shake skin

oh my there’s close kin

snake skin shake skin

been for a spin, for a spin.

 

 

salto carnale

how those fingertips long to be

come literate heart acrobats

to balance across your pages

to juggle words lingering on your skin

to decipher the sound of eyelashes

to leap from pore to curl

to write between your lines

to spell/bind our desires

and to dance low vowels

onto your whole body

beautiful.

migrations

with the butterflies

on their way, i and my

live-in spider catch

the color of leaves

in flight. they too are

content traveling close

to the sun. you dig.

window dressing

my green and red shades of blue

unhindered by cloth and doubt

my green and red shades of blue

unhindered

when they linger on the outline of letters

spilled onto heartheld breasts

my green and red shades of blue

unhindered

as they gather in a necklace of glances

remembered beyond handfelt skin

my green and red shades of blue

unhindered

while they sing that love behind lipless eyes

summoning the dutiful dancer

my green and red shades of blue

unhindered

as they glide over a cross-dressed achilles

mourned by the arrow along the way

my green and red shades of blue

unhindered by cloth and doubt.

alchemilla memories

clear drops of morning dew

reflect facets of childhood.

velvet leaves, accordion-like,

gather in grandma’s apron.

lady’s mantle, she says,

will relieve period pains.

and god knows what else.

haiku

to not dot one’s i

but wryly lean on umlauts

gone awol from home.

 

house cat 3 (jealousy)

ms took messengers

for fellow felines

clawed and cornered the up

holstery sitting mellow

spat way off the baselines

blinds standing by bewildered

at a flawed case of mine

ms took messengers

for fellow felines

furiosity filled the flat

yellow to the nines.

haiku

at night fall it dawned

on me that you ain’t giving

me the time of day.

sure

you soothe my

soul brother i am

at a loss for hurts

when i fell into

place lover we met

gathering pieces.

unklüg

ein un ein fug

kommt nie allein

heut’ wieder trug

ich mir einen ein

und wie im flug

war’n wir zu zwei’n

zwei un unfügen

werden wir nun sein

und wir zwei klügen

wollen uns befrei’n

vor allem vor allem

wir fügen uns nicht ein

werden weiter und weiter

achso un unfügig sein.
