[Lovers Never Tell]

He is like unconscious thought-
simply happening and never knowing-
heart pounding rhythmically
beating it out of me against the cave wall.

He never had to knock me out
as I came more than willingly
(an excuse to immortalize his form
(an e -even if it was just a hand print.)
I needed to know how high he stood
so I could one day be equal.


Call it a movement!,
but I learned that first night
a woman invented fire.
Man can find everything he desires
well enough in the dark.
well OR MAYBE
it was how his match st(r)uck
bubbling heat to the core of me.
bubbling heat to th(I had never been so warm in my life.)

He cradled me
He clulled me
He cfestured in me

He cradled me festured in meuntil all I could be
He cradled me festured in me until all I cwas be
He cradled me festured in meuntil all I could do
He cradled me festured in me until all I cwas do
He cradled me festured in until all I could admit
He cradled me festured in me until all Iwas you

and THAT!
is the only power of man-
his phallic incorperation
in everything yet refusing
the growth of the abdomen-
thbecause I am his Eve, his whore,
thgiving birth to more than his, of course,
thso how could it ever be only his?



[Fault>
Fault>a see-saw of a thing never really leveled correctly]
And forgive me
as I try to rise to the occasion
absorbing the understanding.
I suppose time is proof enough
and we'll have plenty of it to debate
the biblical reference
in who came first- the chicken or the egg?

in who came first- the chiI call dibs on the rooster
in who came first- the chias how could either have been
in who came first- the chithought of without the dipping
in who came first- the chiof his p***k into things?

in wEither way
in wthings will end
in wand this whole instance
in wwill be chalked up to experience
in wand your love

You Are The Smell Before Rain


I'm not sure what words to use
when describing our partnership.
It's the anticipation of budd(y)ing
it's thewarmth cultivated in foreign skematics
it's t-the naive puttering
it's-the five minute warning
-the fivein
-the five2.
-the five1.

It's the in and out, love*,
it's thebefore we panic attacking carnal knowledge
it's the as if we wrote the book. Co-authors
it's the of an agenda lockboxed from ourselves
it's the of an agenda lockboxed from [-n.-too prideful].
it's t-before *a ******** is more than simple arithmatic
it's-before *you notice my sunflower perfume in your sheets
-*before you(and how I want only to be missed
-*before you notice(like the bouquets you dropped off
-*before you noticeknowing my romance with May)).

It's the dirt caked under my nails
it's thestaining your knees
it's th-struggling for one more act behind the curtain
it's th closing on your judgement
it's-stretching the skin I trace
it's on pictures autographed XOXO
autographed XOYour Adored
