A man's biggest dream
is give himself up completely
to be air in a woman's ear
for his internal void to be filled
so that his love may escape
rather than stay hidden
Where a kiss doesn't feel
Like half of what it should be
Salt Shaker Lady
shake it with me
your umbrella the color of daisies
head pointed down so sagely
felt your taste through tears as a baby

Adult now
realize your expression was hidden
because it was the deepest frown
In every cabinet yet no one knows how
a lady of mystery sitting in sweat on my brow

Salt Salt Salt
i need it with all
yet too much and my heart will stall

Salt Shaker Lady
I do see you
I wrote this about the Morton Salt lady
it shames me so
to dwell in front of the new
when I know I'd be happier
basking in mediocrity
with you
Does it hurt
when the nature around you
beckons

and you know it all
to be connected

yet you feel so foreign
like the atoms repel you

you are not a ghost like you think

I run my finger in etched initials in park benches
Wishing to know their fate
Me+you "never"

young man so strong
stature like Hercules
hubris as deep as his reflection
digging your hole deeper
passing up grapes and leaf fans
for calloused fingers
blood money at the end of the week
is it worth it
When your tears burn the scars
Maps of every triumph and nail driven
And you will sit there with hands 10&2
Wondering what could have been
Had you not chosen a warrior's life
morallygray May 29
your love
your warthm
your golden rays of light
I attempt to feel again
intravenously
release
into bliss
dug deeper into a hole
where I only stare at my feet
bury me
