floating and leaving no trace
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

Elusive Trope
Magnetic Poetry Saturday Challenge
And a bonus line:
the moon can but watch
these winds raw my sky
shadow-drunk and frantic
my bitter skin screams
language is a diamond
crushed to rust
like milk
shot through with summerless blood
whispering is wax music
warm belly,
remember this ferocious desire
for you are a prisoner of
women wet with throbbing
sadness
sacred sex, porcelain hearts, salted smiles
——
woman, you haunt me
your wild lips linger
delicious porcelain kisses
color of ocean glass
fever of salt
steel perfume
remember
you were universe two

Magnetic Poetry Saturday Challenge
O’ Poets of the Virtual Refrigerator
growl, air
those secrets bleed blue
broken, concrete, ghost embraces–
they haunt this prisoner
caramel-eyed liquid angels
fire is breath is magic
windows are voices are eating
sordid and repulsive
i recall your languid arm
smooth as wax
your summer blood smeared
on my tongue
sweet skin whispering
please worship me
——
my ugly language
a symphony
like an enormous moaning ache
mother dream skins me
crushes me smooth
a shadow’s sweat
my tongue whispers still
watch
——
between are and am
a never moment sky
a where with me
a when with you
makes a quiet wish
——
the morning angel decays
linger, ferocious ghost
slow kiss
embrace desire’s star
steam is magic
rhythm is perfume
words are sex

Hey–Pictures is a new thing here.
This is a picture–of a poem! It’s on Instagram, where I sometimes post pictures. Most of those are of hikes, or birds or flowers. But today…
I bought myself a haiku magnetic poetry kit last month and finally put up a board at my desk. First MPK haiku.
