25/F (I live in parentheses)
Orange peel *******  tapering across a sunset view  Luminous swirls hit glass  and behind a window, we sit blue  Frisky neighbours forgotten  in our eyes, another sunday gone blind  Should have gone to church  sat at the back, with wine, and unwind.

Them Vegans
You have been missed, like the spring kissed meadows--- sprung from a daffodil's lips    Hiding behind the blushing cheeks   of coral reefs, a giggling hum-- does brush against my eardrum     And so, the echo of your playful steps  return mine thoughts in songful breeze,  soft sway like the mosses that planted  our heads in day---     Softer yet, than the whispered words lay  peeking above air--- I swear to where the  shadows fall beneath us     By light, there was stars--- gifted in no dark that eyes can see     Were it to be a soul's reverie,      I followed the birds--   they move with shivers     Cold,  why snowflakes in May?

Dirge
You ask me why there is so much misery in the world why can't people just accept their pain and be happy, I pause and look at the pain in myself; the years of neglect  coiled like snakes between the layers of my skin, the doubt,  anxiety and ugliness ****** through my tissues (that I can't wring out like a sponge,  though I have tried), the lonliness  fed to me by my blood so that I am always full, the devil that wraps himself  around my backbone, so tightly that when I cough he breathes when I choke he heaves 'with pleasure,  sadness always weaves' and when I spoke, my voice fell my teeth followed clattering to the ground.

A Conversation I've Had
All that is me and you and I, and us, is semblance to an amarena sky, dripping dusk sticking sickly syntax 'I' stuck wryly wires shy around pink hairs of little girls that I chomp on slowly with peony lips, as the frills of your fingers feather my 'heart' thud tantalising tufts fall from my mouth thud thrice 'you' pick prickling petals out of my eyes and smile knowingly, knowing.

Peony Lips
Just between us, shadows, you whisper sounds of regret, the same way my tongue marinates in vowels, and 'my sorry' lies as heavy and hollow in my Chevy trunk among the thousands that I have kept.
