Poems
Apr 2016
The moon is hiding in her pocket
She holds the sun in her right hand
And the deepest ocean pours
from her left as a Niagara of
dark expectations
flowing to me with words
that soar and swoop pecking
and clawing
Oh how I need the moon and
pull her close in a feigned kiss
while my hand creeps like a lizard
to set it free like that guy released after
thirteen years waiting for the chair
Oh how that embrace has wrecked me
as a car that followed too close
I pulled her tight to steal
what she had herself snatched
when the stars weren’t looking
Her breath was red wine and I drank
and the weight of her breast on my arm
crushed my resistance
and I loved her again oh as a universe
and let her keep it tucked away
