CArP


An yak remains from the beer-goggled twilight,
A light wind came past, like a panda breaking wind.
Buried in the sand, a solitary eye stuck out.
It was materializing itself--it had no choice
"Holy flying dictator, Batman!" it said swiftly

twilight


last rays
of dying day
garner neither
warmth nor comfort

emptiness and loss
fill dull lit 
soot/grey
bone dry sorrow

promises of 
newly minted dawn
coax weariness to
hope

hold out


hold my hand now
breathe long
don't hold in
hold out
let your mind stop 
right at the point 
where your breath 
turns back in

the point where 
our lips meet 
at every breath

breath flows into you
my lips press yours
working shared saliva
no stopping point 
as the air turns 
from in to out 
just a smooth turn 
through 180 degrees
 
in unison
air expelled from 
deep inside mixes, flows
against your cheek
through your hair
our tongues mesh and squirm
the last scintilla of air is expelled 
to dance the universe joined forever 

our lips part
momentarily the world stops
in anticipation of our next breath

closer

we fold the planet
with our words
bending time
with gravity
of our warm bodies

changing probabilities
within our orbit
blending our skin
with the gravity
of time

we create
oceans of possibility

dinner

biting into
plump green
roasted halkidikis
olives

the firmness of
taut flesh
gives way to
salty oily crazy sensuality

...

hats

each day
i wear many hats
for each role i play

my dog only
has his dog hat
yet he is unconflicted
