HIGH FIVE

you dragged me
into your kitchen

cooked me
medium rare

stuffed me into
a juicy
succulent
pie

(saw Ramsey
and all the
other
executive chefs

give you
a thunderous
high-five

NEXT

I don’t see my way clear
to finishing this poem

what you threaten
with all your
interference and
distraction

is that
the split between
the self that writes and
self that is
written

will become a rift, a cavern
unbridgeable

and what is this

you tell me this is, funny I should mention it,
your suspension bridge that

we get to cross

a magical world where
poetry can be shelved, put to the side for a moment

and I get to eat you
like a golden peach

juicy enough
to feed into my

next

JANGLE JINGLE

let me
suck the butter
out of
your cup

recite my
jingles
where
they most
jangle

hold every
high note
till
I almost
pass out

this song
got to make you
so very
music
friendly

MERIDIAN

MERIDIAN

come stick needles
in me

puncture
my acumen

need my body’s
magnetic field
to switch its
poles

need our
poles to oppose,
attract like
plug
and
socket
positive to
negative

red to
blue

black
to white

North
to South

need satellite maps
to find
the meridian
fully navigate you

JET WINGS

JET WINGS

jet wings
batwings
angel wings

jet and rocket engined
I launched, I soared
I flew to you

flew hard and fast
when not
just floating

hidden
by cloud

too stealth to spot
too low
for radar

and
suddenly he we are

making my
descent

flaps deployed, air breaks on
every muscle tensed

braced
for if
not perfect
three point touch-
down

then
softest
softest impact

BETTER PLACE
(for Francesca)

the Saint you were named after
loved little animals

they would lead him
to their little homes
invite him
to explore
their tiny burrows

it was Eden in my bedroom
and like our beautiful first parents
we failed to realize it

both of us born under that
divided, contrary, most transcendent
sign of the fish

it was
always like
when we got naked

deep ocean water filled the room
which, as we no longer
breathed air, only breathed
and devoured each other,
was no bother

we were swimming toward a mirage
swimming together towards
promise of something perfect
something infinitely better

when our vessel foundered
found itself
between Scylla and
Charybdis

between a
rock and
a hard place

and we
let the self-
contained fantasy slip away

lost our
special sea identities

left that deep
deep
special, sensual garden

for some supposed, half-
promised, presumed better place

DOWN FOR YOU

DOWN FOR YOU

went to the Tarot
to get a
second opinion

on our
“configuration”

so drew

JUDGEMENT
TEMPERANCE
FOOL
and EMPRESS

in all a
resounding yes

so can say, things may
be looking up for me, baby
and
Northern Hemisphere
Southern Hemisphere

we
one world
one ball of
constellations

means hopefully
(equally hopefully)

things
spectacularly looking
down
for you

SEX N SHIT

Tags

SEX N SHIT

sex is like
chess

both about
the beautiful
moves

chess is
not
like
sex

chess is all
about the
fork, the pin,
the skewer
the win

CHARYBDIS

I try not to
suck at poetry

like a poet
who sucks so
good by virtue
of an
absence of teeth

but if I
were to suck
then I would
aim for suction
of the order
of Charybdis

and you my
Siren, beautiful
Siren

sing your sweet
naked song
divest
of
sound-altering
production

help
me along.

FREE SPEECH

FREE SPEECH

my voice
keeps bumping
into you

cannot help these
soft
collisions,
muffled moments

rubbing up
against
your nakedness
