Brilliant burning
the hot bulb
the summer air
turning
insect song simmering
we swelter slow movement
dreaming of cooler months
of less humid soaked into
brickwork and tarmac
shimmering in the distance
the Power poles totemic
swaying with their dropping
lines
The myopic miles pulling
us in travel

Everyones lost in the dream
the radio turned low
nothing but the tires singing
their own song...the growl
of the engine and performance
exhaust

I
stale smell of old books,
light divides the dark in two,
I wake from my work

II
sensation returns,
singing bursts from the garden:
your light rouses me.

III
otherworldly hum,
screech against the wooden floor,
something works upstairs.

A casual conversation                       Casual yet confronting

He was upfront                                  While she hid behind broken words

Cartel Love
you ride in hidden case
emerge in rooms dripping
with hot energy
closed curtain lust
Leopard print
Holster sex
a warm piece
on my hips

sopping footprints
and smeared tiled
walls
The Dark Sedan
in suns blaze
We drink delicious
the poisons of
excess
knocking the bed bare
with voyages of
savaged delights
carnal scars
Trophy beings
coming up for air
Like tigerz in tall grass
filling the paper covered
glass with prints

The black cup is hot.
I would drink from the black cup.
But still the cup is hot.

Memorial Day

Since first our nation came to be
bequeathed by sons of liberty
in many conflicts blood was shed
in many places rest our dead

on native soil or foreign lands
they paid what freedom oft demands
that all give some and some give all
so that democracy stands tall

Anytime , Anywhere darling I'll be there , I swear. I'm at home all alone wishing you were here. All I do is watch T.V. , That's not the way. I want to be with you on a walk and talk maybe down by the beach , by the bay. The love I have for you has no end , you are way more than just a friend. I would follow you to the edge of the earth , because I have never found anyone like you since birth. So to you my sugarbear , I will love you always ANYTIME , ANYWHERE.

Hidden compartments
filled the president's table,
with secrets untold.

funny how the ouch
with a simple c in front
spells couch - a comfort

soft cushioned pasture
even though cultivated
still nature's sofa
