Her stilettos bang like gavels
toga swathing her lithe torso
she holds the scales high:
ashtray and collection plate
amalgam
blood runs down her thighs
as she uses her white cane;
a sword that keeps the secret
of how she lost her eyes.

here in the moonlight
everyone is beautiful-
that will not last long

If you crave
discovering the pit
of fire,
shower the floor
with your coverings
and summon lust
under white linen
while my hungry
eyes make a
meal of you.

Or, if you
fantasize of glowing
gates drenched in
golden glory,
keep silent
prayers tucked under
your tongue,
and don’t let
God hear you
say my name.

-XV
don't forget that you'll never truly belong to me,
just like how the shore never truly belong to the ocean.

no matter how many times they collide,

they're destined to be apart.
is your faith so fragile
you **** to protect it?
no notes necessary

The shovel shivers
dirt from the earth
in quick, rhythmic cambers.

You may think
I'm digging a grave
when my heart is buried treasure.

Bindlestick over the shoulder,
thumbs up:
heading my way?
Shattered abacus
of nominal identity,
consolation prizes, mementos
clutter the interstate plexus,
a smile dawning on
the umbral shame,
ignorance truly blissful
revival of my nakedness.
