she cried (you're old enough sweet whispers)

lily petals with blackberries

smeared--your house was a castle.

Alien Touch

There’s strangeness in your fingertips
And coldness in your glance
Each embrace another icy clutch
Unholy and unnatural
Distant and severe
Within the landscape of your alien touch

You revel in your nonchalance
And flaunt your ample cool
As though love alone 

could never mean that much
It’s not that you’re indifferent
Just bound

Read me like a book
Because that way I might be interesting
IN letters curves and li(n)es
--> NUMBERED PAGES -->
Bound collated and labeled
That might be something worth being...
Because AS IT IS
As things are...
I am just another
Walking talking
Very confused
...and deluded...

Homicide on the brain Lost longing sunset love Benign infatuation with indecision Saw her there jiggling all her parts at me Smile and sex smile again One time we were pure desire Earth wind fire and water All at once Confused as fuck Stumbling through it But nobody could touch us And they didn't Long

Wine Environment

A fermented pungent residue
Rising up sour-dry
Wilted rose and wooden
On the ruffled cuff of lofting oxygen
With carrion abandon
Diffuses pirouetting
Sending porous epidermic impacts
Seductive timbres of dilapidation
To consummate intoxication
Of several flying fruit flies
Slowly succumbing
In steady descending spirals
To eventual glorious oblivion
As lifeless bodies lost and floating

If only I could name it!
Or perhaps at least describe it -
That achromatic opus
Amalgamating myopic
Resonating peptic murmurs
Miasmal and undifferent
Digested in abstractions
Of white noise dissolussive
While echo-skin so hollow
Grasps chords of oak elusive.

Can't I just say I'm sitting
In a heap of Texas sweat
Riddled with
