Letter in Verse

If I could write you something
as complicated as calico cats
(shy as genes receding)
I would
find a way to make this
as delicate as dust
across the surface
of an imperfect planet
indented from impact
with the interstellar
I would
make this as flat
as planes or as straight
as lines if I knew how
to beat all the times
to run a perfect mile
four bloodless
breathless revolutions
drawn to a point
and set to dance
all along the head
of a stainless steel pin
but all I can draw
are curves
and all I can paint
are squares
so that you will have to settle
for rudely crafted circles
full of poorly painted squares
a child\'s sc

Moments During a Lunch Hour

Moments During a Lunch Hour

Fat coffee pots steam
stuttering amongst themselves
like contented hens

gap toothed glass racks
smile back when pulled, losing teeth
one drink at a time

the receipt printer
chitters like nervous mice when
someone\'s about to leave

The Translucence of Motion

The Translucence of Motion

There is an ash haired angel
laying pallid and pale
naked and bruised
in straight sheets
with stiff corners
to cut an unwary tongue

The room is full of
the sound of sheets
against his skin
rustling paper in a dry summer wind

He is rolling over on the morning
closing his eyes to the sun
resting beneath the white
dreaming

Thicknesses and layers
measured breath and multiple meanings
behind the words she speaks
Dreaming
sharp eyed smiles
and the charred thrill of climbing thighs
and beating hearts

In the bed his body bends
without premeditation or permission
He cuts himself a thousand times

Blasphemers

[Night. Denny's. Three 19 year olds in a booth, table covered in coffee cups and clutter. Jack and John go to State U. Donny goes to community college.]

Jack: You know what I was thinkin' about?

John: Seals?

Jack: Bark bark.

Donny: You were thinking about dogs?

Jack: No Donny, seals bark too.

Donny: Seals bark?

John: What were you thinking about?

Jack: Moses.

John: What about him?

Jack: I was thinking about the middle east and all that bullshit and I was thinking about the Red Sea, and how like Moses parted it. That mutherfucker parted the Red Sea. Like, do you have any conception of how large a task that is? I mean,

Horses Saviors and Smoke

Horses, Saviors, and Smoke

Walking out of the heat and grease
I watched smoke from a building
twist like a flag in the wind
forever disappearing into the watery blue

Getting off the freeway
I saw road signs hang like saviors
on municipal crosses

Driving home through the cold
I watched houses climb silhouetted hills
like white horses mounting the moonlight

Three Minutes Before the End

Three Minutes before the End of the World

I am hesitating
from holding
her hips
trembling
beneath a paper skirt
in the liquid moment
before dawn

She smells something sweet
stronger
for the water in the air
suffusing the artificial fruit
invisible in her skin

Her lips
must be full
and glossy as the mirrored moon
but all I can see
are her hips
trembling between my hands
knowing that
this is inappropriate
in the middle of the street

At three minutes before
the end of the world
we should do more
than dread each others'
touch
But we aren't
So she trembles
and I swear

As the world ends around us
