haiku 5.27.12

the lit grill crackles
heat and hunger held at bay
only with cold beer.

desire chokes the silence

the nights
have matched our talks
they now drip with the sultry air
of humidity and stifled heat
that trades languages and flavors
like merchants in desert mezzanines
and one wonders
as you share a story of leather worn around your neck
as part of your personal rock ballad
if that was a way to stave off
the inferno of desire that adds hue to your cheeks
or was it meant to tell the unworthy
only the secret and the sensual
can be unlocked by the daring?

1:24 am, wednesday the 16th

she remembers
all her titles
given to her in the lush code
passion writes 'round about midnight
but the one that shines bright
once gold and turquoise clothe the clouds
is the word,
'lover'

haiku 5.23.12

man sells Final Call
no one pays attention since
last call is at four

haiku 5.18.12

old vinyl clothes minds
and stares from sidewalks with eyes
your parents had once

haiku 5.16.12

from worn centerfold
you spring forth, warm and sultry
mahogany love
