My Mouth

October verses

I could drink you up.

Word after word

that delicately fall

from your lips

onto my ear.

uncontrollably,

in your hair.

Upon colliding,

my breath slips far

beyond my reach,

beneath pillow cases in

a sacred fit of passion.

I am so thirsty for you,

word after word

I’m craving

your lips onto

my ear,

my mouth.

(2014)

Affairs with Jake

I wonder if I’ll ever have the Pleasure of waking up next to him or listening to his heart beat

I’ll paint this tin can and tie a little string Hang it on the receiver and I’ll be ready

There are two lovers on the couch I sit behind. Their faces just inches apart, holding one another with endless tears and muted words. I feel the fear and uncertainty in the energy they...
