tchaikovsky's violin is so emo --- no,
it's sylvan undone, or
it's sylvia plath in
the hot seat

this isn't me being cheeky
-as if my jowl were up against that cold oven rack-
it's, obviously, me acting out, me being difficult, me wanting your

attention

ahem

i once got off to her in the school library bathroom stall
her Words
were hands that day
and i came unrequited blackberry skies

i sometimes wonder if
she hadn't realized, just then, how silly it all reallytruly was
and that -that- realization was a place she could, finally,

get to

and

in the sudden rush to pin it down with chikoffskii violins that wept syntax tor,
she bumped her head upon attempting to get out

and she was
going
to sing
i mean really sing
for you
too

when she gets home
i'm going to take off her pants
and eat her from behind

i'll lick the plate clean
all of it
from orb to knot

until those three muffled words secrete from her
dm micklow
it looks
like rain.
but it might
be you.

i'll have
you know
how that
feels

so kiss me
and that'll be
something

closer to the next  kiss

what's not to like ?

loving you is effortless
with training wheels.

laughing with your eyes
my blind love
can focus

on real life

when your headlights caress
the walls
i know
all about
this very moment
then
you come home  and the lights...
and something...
i.... forget
every time

your keys to the house make music


then as
always, you
startle me
even when i know
you're there

even when
you're there
so gently

there to lend me
your eyes
to laugh
with.

you're there
to fix me  

as always... your lips say

" ok. now... just turn around..."

then you
do the zipper
in the back
of my
skin.

how long has
that thing

been there ?

box that used to house magic
now you are jus an awkward corpse
that won't lie down

old bony black ear encased in steel and window
you once were a god
with your promises and movies and whatnot

it must be lonely
now fading
graffitied  
or does it feel like bliss
to no longer hear all the feels of mere mortals

keep these hands alive in your hands; that they walk and breathe; that their skin becomes downy in the spring, and from them spears love-roots of dark grass, filling over the hills and meeting with the excellent night their shining bodies.

live, love and smell the rich perfume of your lovers hips; meet and again touch with them your cheeks, and delight in them–the coil of their heap.

they are with your body, and to touch another's is a great privilege–and i know it.

wander and know the nape of them; laugh and extend your blood into their own.

invite their inspirations into your own breast, and make with it one respiration.

they are cool and wonderful between the ears; they are soft laughter and stupid giggling; they are the arcuate sleep of a rose thorn–deeply within your skin.

know and love them.

hold not back your laughter, nor praise, nor joy in their clutch.

touch, ramble, delight in the visceral perfusion of their mouth and kiss.

form doesn't hafta **** content
but it often does
with modes of operation done to death

all of us
are its vics

so i rise up and **** it back
w slant rhymes that tickle the oblique
consonance that creeps
and an assonance that grabs

one hand
driven up sunken
inhaled midsection
resting at wet sternum
pausing to spread
five fingers
i can feel the beat quicken

digging them in
i inch up toward her

body angular  
waves of her churn
i eat dishes beastly
her entire plate clean
