[Plug: Irene]

 We heard about your bitch sister
                                     That little cunt in her wares
         We even prepped for your swallows
             I heard you even pulled back your hair.
                                                       Claiming God of some nine people
             Spitting out our caution with your lips.
                                Heard we played God too
                                                They said              we
                                                    cracked our old whips
               Letting some play slave to your anger
                                                             Tempting us to fight back
                                Like fucking your ex
                                                                    Only shame
                             Talking:                 I smashed but didn’t kiss that.
                                       How the drowned out peoples of Katrina do laugh.
                                                Like us inflating water prices
                                                                Like mothers killing souls in baths.
                         Look how you made us remember sad
                                                Remember we are as soft as your hair
                                                Taking all that we had
                Tornados eyes that do leer and quakes that do shake
                Standing guard like we’re Kings –our grimaces at fate.
                             Stuck on neutral
                                                      Staying the same as it diverges
                                   Blatantly cackling, hysterical at power surges.
                          You’re my truth –my totem
                                                          My mother who tells me it is not a dream
                                                                You’re Nature
                                                                                We’re fragile;
                                                                                                My dearest
                                                                                                Sweetest Irene

How does that chocolate zip up your desires --where letters are not words, rather a long list of promises. Taking orders via heartstrings...pulling my customer close --climbing, tilting those long legged posts. Have you in sheets stained with the part of me that does not smile. Begging and tugging, beckoning for just a lil while. Longer and wider and stronger inside Her I wine her and dine her never deny her for ever a buyer...a customer, a crier, a truth, a liar in front of a fire I make love in dire. And die here. And lie here. And take Her. And sip slow. And let go...and tug and tug and sell and flood. I'm overdone. Overwhelmed. In awe. A realm. Just created...always debated...never relayed it. How that chocolate does buy Her desires...

[Plug: Ode to the Foot]
None have been written of feet. Of toes and soles. Those not that flee to heaven but rather the ruler of this earth's ground. Stepping above and upon, arches molding against. Trickle a tickle of round mounds that supple mouths do nosh. Of scratchy heels and ankles posh. Of the flawless disgust most fetish a must. None have been etched in stone and passed down as lore, of brown bunions cruising about kitchen floors. Or camera capturing baby steps fumble as those little tiny piggies break down and crumble. There is not one. Not an ode to the foot. Not a line or verse dedicated to boot. And so I write. Just for you all. How I love those ten, sole and ball. Feet and foot and sock and shoe. How I have a poem for every part of you.

[Plug: Recanttous]
 She paces for me.
Back and forth through –
  Trudge and dirt
Fro and to from—
     Beneath the wells.
Those orbs receded behind
                Cloudy shields
Tics ruling tears
Tears taking them.
So she waits.
On branch and perched
About the world,
  Looking hither
Upon guilt in me.
Onto a future
Un bright
Broken as steps in sand.
Pacing so…
Waiting there.
Asking me…to
Play in her hair.

[Plug: Writing-Thru: Kahlil Gibran's "Song of Love"]


              eyeS, and the spirit’s
                 nOurishment.  I am a rose.
        My heaRt
          The viRgin kisses me
               UpOn
      beauty.  When youth

forgets his toiL,
      Whole lifE becomes
               poeT’s elation,

                I aM
              sacrEd

            My fuLlness pursue
     claim Of the vOice.
                   hiS
                  I rEvealed myself

         WisdOm From

                 I sMiled at Helena and
     she destroYed Tarwada;
    like the ageS
                   crEates and ruins;
               a vioLet’s sigh;
                   GiFts alone do not entice me;

[Plug: No Saving Grace]

How weary is the song of my unwanted heart?
                -- How you do love thee…yet only in theory.
   happiness is =when you make me whole.
So just remember now;
 how slowly it hurts to want you this way…
      my tears dripping from these odes
      my screams going unheard.
How sullen is the poem of my bleeding fingers?
                …How I write to you…and what you do not do –
    sadness is =when I wake alone. Unwhole.
So just forget it now;
                                                the unyielding devotion
      how it is set in stone
      how it rocks me awake in the night.
How funny is the design of my unchanging mind?
                -- How I whisper to myself…“go get her”
    life is =going to get better.
So just dismiss this now;
                                                     all these lines of script
       they mean nothing to me
       without the sight of Her face
                 or the sweetest lip-locking taste
                 or the gentle love-making pace
             and never without…my saving grace.
