Told

A sight  of butterflies

as I  lay in grass

wind in my face

sun rays through wing flaps

and in a glimpse

 my  moorings abscond

 this hunger  for   freedom

satiates  

In elation, 

I am the unknowable

and I am alive

2018

Rain

Some kind of  ecstasy

through  water blinkered  eyelids

 I squelch the  wetness from  my shoes

as  I sit in my puddle

And   runneth  not

As the rain cometh

2018

Look

Your eyes are my nakedness

 my terror is

I  will Shut down

Assume the fetal

To hide from your gaze

2018

Heat

I am the heat between my legs

the mouth

Waiting

For Peanuts in that bottle

I am the desires on the table

In this insipid container

I am the gnawing  that  stokes

From  my belly’s pit

2018

Touch

Wish we could connect

Water lily

 In Truth

 And Open at the solar plexus

 Feel you with the filaments

That grow from my stomach

2018

    

Really

Once told the distinction between courage and bravery

What do i know

I am Naked,

present in my skin with eyes to the constellation

that time hid from view

I  step forward in  my poverty

I once spread my arms, floating face up

But on this morning  stripped of day dreams

I just see that

I am

Nothing more

2015

Somewhere beneath

Somewhere  beneath are petals

A flower that wills to open

and be seen

but Shame’s mirrors

Medusa at each glance

freezes it  in  ice  tumblers

traps it in yesterdays

as life draws down regardless

where to find, courage’s heat

and thaw towards the sun

2015
