untitled 2.9.06

she said,
"kiss me
like there was gold at the back of my throat
and silver on my tongue
and you were broke as hell."
well,
my pockets WERE near empty...

lemon slice

she called me juicy
akin to the innards of fruit
i could hear myself
being savored on her lips
and i wondered
if she'd take the time
to release the seeds
or let them sprout in her mind
i clung to her
sticky sweet to the point of sickly
fulfilling her spirit
until
she began to stay away
preferring grapes instead.

quote of the day 10.12.10

The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary
hing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the
ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the
world is transformed.

- jiddu krishnamurti

the initial slice

the first thing you feel
is a breeze
it's like curtains giving way before a window
how the skin separates
and then
there's a chill
underneath the pools of sweat
rivulets
feel like
ready made snowflakes
your blood pressure
makes like the kicksnare on a screamin' jay hawkins LP
and what makes it all the more frantic
all the more crazy
is that you don't notice
you've been cut
until you see
crimson crystals
spilling out to tell the world
you're another part of its pain.

a ribbon of wanting(for sagal)

cutting the ribbon
that tied us together
was easier than i thought
it no longer sears into the flesh of my heart
but i wonder
from time to time
if you still wear it
does it grace your neck
and drift
along those places my lips walked
is it cinched around your wrist
your pulse letting it rise
like blades of grass underneath a sudden wind
or have you tucked it away
in a book you figure you'll never get around to read
to keep from feeling
that tenderness
that had to leave
to be honest
i still have my piece of ribbon
draped within my spirit
it adds that extra color
when thoughts of you
make my mind grey
if they could ever be sewn together again
this ribbon of want
i'd kiss each thread
until the end
for now
i am only bound by you
in past dreams.
