Across the Country

Press the mud Beneath your fondling fingers. Push the brush across To trail a maze, Moonlight above The sudden city. Poetry, It breathes without the blood. It cannot  Set this scene, Her hair in tides against your shoulder Or between the window and you. When luck's in love, Her face now facing you, Her smiles always noncommittal  But occasionally, Something slips From narrow eyes And you're aware You're sharing a secret Like a holy hot Croissant in winter transit shelters. Inside the bus Within the gentle metal growl, Beside the greying pastures Letting loose their solid lines, She smells of pastries Glazed. Her heat, The blanket heart of everything. - 5/27/26

At the Breach of Summer

Her shoulders rise, Release, A little rap id er Now after I've leaned Into her breath. The air is threatening to tear, A rip unleashing Sudden tumble, Smearings colored Primaries, Confused and exhilarating. We resisted wary, Waited years, But now Our pulse has fallen Into one. - 5/26/26

Dancing, Shifting

The fully flooded moonsky Is lighting glowing black-grey. Underneath the mustard sun, The dreams are melting. I smile, far more honest than my usual, Interpreting her private language Of dancing hands and shifting shoulders. My stomach blazes. Smoke intoxicates attempts at thinking. There are days I know she knows And days I doubt she's ever noticed. Mercy narrowed thin her eyes. We'd never survive them otherwise. A setting sun is bleeding out. I settle hoping for another dream, A fantasy wherein she sees. - 5/22/26

The Terror

When the risen blade's Above your neck You panic Or you laugh. The midnight breeze Is cool but empty. Study shady sidewalks, Shadows, corners, Alleyways between the restaurants. You know There's nothing. She is not Awaiting. If you let these Questions stripped of answers Haunt your days, You've given them away. - 5/21/26

Upon Awaking

The carpet's not the floor. The opening is not the door. I thought myself a hammer, Always in her hands. I swore I knew the way, But found the hall was wrapping round. I exited into the start again. The bottom's Ever further Down. The evening is not the night. Today, I woke to bloodstains Inside my top sheet. I stared into half-light And realized my power. - 5/20/26

Orange Marmalade

You said you got it from your mother. Spread it on your plate. The mango sweet and juicy, Toast a brown with amber flecks And smears of orange marmalade. I had your hand Those days before. We stared into each other, Coffee in two mugs, Our morning meals on inexpensive dishes. I passed your hair and shades Across the sidewalk earlier this evening Saying nothing, All my wishes, Rain that's creeping sideways Finally to fly Clear off the windshield. - 5/19/26

Rise

The monkeys Raided. Naked violence Anointed them as lords Above the fools. The rumors riot, Gory stories, bloody messes, Lies and allegations. When you scratch the broken skin away, Set fire to the flakings, You uncover light That blinds the millions. You've been running far too long, Forgotten all the gold You hold Inside. You've been a quiet beggar To the stupid and the cruel Too long. Your sin eroded white. Accept your worshippers, Your glory. Rise. - 5/18/26
