floating and leaving no trace
touch us gently, please
i wish for bread to fill an angel’s evening
this moment feels charmed
you shared your need like a quiet dance
devote a thousand words to
ask a promise I can never keep

as the animal blossoms
a wild moon breathes out
this soul follows secret winter
wither, ancient spirit!
murmur and wander no more

surrounded by
eternity’s fat fathers
velvet words
a poisonous, laughing poetry
perfumed breath of women
borne on ferocious breezes
decay a liquid ghost
tasting like candy and concrete
her heart lies
but never voices her magic rhythm

Magnetic Poetry Saturday Challenge: A Chorus Line (10.22.16)
brother to fire-eyed dogs
blue smoke smiles
prisoner to almost all
porcelain women — poison me
with a cup of salt water
wake me to air wet with rhythm

drunk on chocolate milk
we eat honey
play pink and blue and
pant on the moon
with lust
——
bitter and languid
let whispers wax
elaborate on my screams
repulsive madness heaves us
about and my skin aches

old marble surrounds her there
her ghost, yet feverish, growls
remember
rhythm
blush
sex
star
haunt
wake
——
you chant
a whispered music
your language a delcious
black dream of sweaty shadows
and the smell of sleepy skin
——
this garden fruit and soft summer colors
you come to me in the shade
world relaxed, murmurs of
bees and no lonely blossoms
though soon gentle eden will know
wild wind, wet rain, winter frost
——
cry, luscious goddess
lather us with sweaty summer worship
these breasts–smooth, languid, meat
–no
a thousand frantic lickings
the fast water must bare you
mad blood
red chocolate
crush my lust, my storm of a need
