jewels in the sky

Precious lover,
sweet honey,
I'm so sorry.

I get lost,
distracted,
following crumbs
of other lives,
pages of women,
fallen leaves,
colorful, tempting,
when each step
further from home
I weaken.

A waste when
all that is me
is here
with you.

prospective patriarchy

Dip the fembot 
into a digital bath
hold by the heel
wash away her dreams
of electric sheep
a binary baptism
then set her on her knees
where she will stay as you
program her to worship
all of man's disease.

showers at the ymca

Chamomile drops splatter
round the drain with foam
betwixt us, stall-to-stall,
edging towards the tip 
of tomorrow, it's another
time. Shake the soap 
from your eyes, child,
And smell the petals
floating freely in the air.

dirty habits

Smoke it up in the shower
like a bad girl, like you didn't
tattletale earlier, colleague,
like a good girl, like you never
been here, before and again.

summer vibes

Babyfoot in the sky
born paranoid way
before Vietnam.
Puffclouds in the sky
huddled in a splay
before grownup.
