Reason Comes From Everything

go up on me, blow my mind
gently
I'll discard petals
cherry blossoms on your breeze
stand before you bare as winter
scared as snow.

I believe in you
God
And high heeled shoes
Enough to be afraid.

Fervor

Your belief in me deifies
and taught me the fear of God
He's afraid of letting us down.

I can be a lot in the morning
anything except
blank as I was last night.
Fill the space with what attracts you
I'll get it back tomorrow
I swear.

Your faith inspires
I will work miracles for you.

, too.

You are handsome
But not to the extent
I believe.

All incoherent, exhausted word vomit
meant half as much as your
remembering to call.

But She Never Comes Home and She Won't Call

Children are selfish,
Yours are no exception.

I am afraid
of third degree burns
Spiders
And that you will die
before we learn to talk
without fighting.

Demand Exceeds Supply

Ejaculate injection
infected function,
cross my eyes
dot my...unmentionables.
you do everything
multi-(ab)use
ideal contraption
contracepted bliss
slide me down your skin

Let me desire sans denial.
I want to eat you,
mouth down.
settle for sex,
when impossible distance is done.

This inadequacy is impermanent,
we do not match our settings,
only chosen surroundings.
Inexact magic, our science
in the land of coffee and saccharine
where principle stands.
Without you, I abandon
my preferred side of the bed.
Your scent on the sheets plays dreamcatcher
till sunset sees us city swarming
separate schedules.

Come back to me.
I want to teach you
to be naked.
While you teach me
to be.

Securely Pinned Tiara

I'll take my way
send heartaches back where they came from,
where I never go.
Wouldn't you?
Masoch might not
but we're unrelated.

I told you what she did to me.
Are you deaf
or just selfish?
Your timing is terrible,
pushy.
What am I going to DO with you?
What AM I going to do with you?
You, entirely unlike everyone else.
Life is unfair,
why should you exceed reality?
You need a dead girl,
I need you kinder.

She is her whole name to my skull,
misbehaved Southern child.
Oh, baby.
You weren't a bad girl,
just oil in my ocean,
fish killer.
I needed you kinder,
needed you at all,
but abandoning seafood doesn't mean I'm hungry.

Modern selfishness consumed.
Royal ice sculpture staring down and down
electronic shadows
of the hearts
I used to heat.
Global warming is a lie
between our shifted seasons
While snow suffocates small things,
spring slaps my concrete jungle,
unsettling monsters.

Predictable Exasperation

I live in a city of car sleepers
peace costs extra.
I am overtired.
Gray Greek guardian in a yellow cab,
save me.
After five years of braces
I must unlearn my smile
Till the city learns
It's okay to laugh
during orgasm.
