Not That She

needs me to say yes.  Quite the contrary.  She already has hers.
Twirling brown words flow through the pain of viscous brain.
"Bury the dead for fear that they walk to the grave in labour."
I remember the car.  The street.  The night.  The words.  "You're not
acting like yourself."  What's myself?  Who is me?  Why
couldn't I have lived the life I was?  Why couldn't I
have told her the truth?  That I was so deeply in love,
so mesmerized by all that was her, that I could do no
more than pray at her alter.  Of course I acted

Artemis Kissed

                                               Long-limbed
                             Stop!
                                               and loosely bound,
                    Your lips say
                                               A pale reflection of Soul
               See me
                                               engages more than I can dream.
      Look at me
                                               To eat, to melt, to reconstruct
               Cry my word
                                               Myself within those Lips;
                    Unto your life.
                                               Bliss, I cry....

Birthday Dialogues

I

I am become visions:
archer without horse;
water without sea.
I cannot swim this confusion,
cannot pierce this effervescent veil.
I ride an ocean's expanse,
poems rendered without words.

II

Doubt has stricken me this afternoon.
I am succumb: plague of insecurity.
