Respirator Can You Hear Me?
As we, the remaining, paint the plates, The light socket covers, A chill cuddles in through the workshop doors At our feet, a dog with a frozen tail We paint color into our heads That will enhance our bedrooms Our sense of control Enhancing or faking it A brutal beer follows the sixth Hopefully...

Acquiesce
Even if I said touch me like The summers you missed us together what if the vacancies -Now that we welcome a romance void of some deeper meanings Meals of light sighs and frequent yeses- Can’t quite get us there over there where We can both see the invisible blessings and everyone who matters Steel...

Might Flashes
As I wait For the last Opals of coffee To top off my container The storm after the calm, Warm pinpricks of acupuncture And your latest look I know you will call Because I want to talk with you About what The unsolved we left Restless Inviting your attention More than coffee But less than sleep No...

Trill
cerebral boondocks: populating the hillside like patterns of clear-cuts viewed from a plane too many “only I know where”s pacific salmon, tempura the politeness of a rotating sushi bar too many “I know exactly what I’m looking at”s between the maguro tuna and the unmarked country road trills a...

Addition
