Baking Caramel
Every time I tasted us
’twas only bitter…
Stretch Marks
Why aren’t you fair
Too dark…
Permanence
My love—
Does not have shape…
From Me
Like the stars you
Keep me curious…
A Rumination
I had known entire months
With him…
Unhappy Endings
You—
Are all I learned…
‘til Next Time
I potted plants for every
New name you gave me…
Your Ignorance
I’ve loved you hopelessly
Purposefully, unconditionally…
Foreordained
I made it to you bleeding.
But what if I didn’t…
This Morning
I step outside into the balcony
The trees are a gangrenous green…
Circuit Breaker
Our fragile hearts can’t take it,
Overload. Overload. Overload…
Failed Haiku #1
I like your music.
It becomes a part of me…
On Trying
Trying takes commitment and an intention to give the best of yourself to something…
Poems and Pills
They keep growing inside me
One at a time…
On Contact
Does your skin even remember
Me?
Deeds and Deals
It was a life I lived,
A reality I burned…
Untitled
Men with men.
Ick. Ick. Ick…
Flower-Bearer
We sat in the same place each day,
Routine was part of her life and mine…
Acceptance
The secret is
You have my heart…
Touch-me-not
Each pore of my skin
Births a new flower…
