mouth of the beast
i am the: hinge in the mouth of the beast
lark who sings sweetly all day
grain of sand washed ashore again and again
fragrance of jasmine at night
curled toes of lovemaking
red sky at morning
red sky at night
nightshade of darkling woods
sweetness of clean water
afterburn of jet fuel
longest day of the year
warts on a toad
dust on my lampshade
myriad snowflakes falling
frost on your windows
destroyer of dawn
harbinger of dusk
fan that cools an August room
sheen of glazed tile under the moon
small stone which begins an avalanche
flake of dandruff on your shoulder
itch on your neck
empty glass waiting to be filled
grape waiting to be crushed
aged wine
aged one
crow who caws at noon
wolf at your door
deer standing silently under trees
glider that wafts on wind
green leaf in spring
stars waiting to be born
depth of oceans
box of china
phone that never rings
mountains and valleys
ship at sea
antique cabinet you bought for a buck
grass clippings on a summer lawn
red flower in vase's arrangement
flutist in the orchestra
cramp in your foot
quiet in corner of a closet
prerogative of midnight
child filling its life's vessel
grain in a black and white photo
rain in your hair
needle in a junkie's arm
clean towel after a shower
dust you've cleaned before
i am nothing and everything
i am hurtling towards infinity
while baking a cake
on a sunny day in Paris
avoiding mouth of the beast.
