Nowhere

They were everything, the stars – their hope we harbored in our pockets, and it seeped under our fingernails in the winter cold until we bled and breathed them, believed their possibilities cupped like fireflies in our hands – we went to sleep to them and woke to their memory, dreamed them in between – we ourselves piloting the ships of tomorrow. They called us, stringing their melodies down to earth in half-remembered filaments of color: we whispered our promises up in return, the four of us, our breaths frosting windows as we stared up and pointed at the darkening sky. Lodged in our eyes and minds, the stars, and th

clay

cowardice runs deep, like a rich vein of red through the bottom of a Colorado river. so I gathered that clay, scooped it up in my hands and packed it, carefully, over my face until it covered every inch; and my lidded eyes were merely dents in the thick tan façade. this was cleaner than the traditional, Oedipal method of blinding oneself. alone, the clay was not enough. I stayed inside the house, too, under cover of a sturdy blue roof that cordoned the horizon – because out here there is too much sky to hide from. and I ignored the phantoms still flitting in my ears, because they spoke of the kind of roses

Maurice Eugene Dobson

Maurice Eugene Dobson, aged forty-three years and two months, is standing in the middle of a car of the A train, on his way home. He is not holding onto the pole: he stands off to its side, swaying slightly with the movements of the train, but balanced perfectly and seemingly without effort. He never holds onto the poles. He takes pride in being able to maintain his balance like this, although he knows it’s not the sort of quality anyone else will appreciate, and it’s not really something you can put on your résumé. Too bad. He is a small man, though he prefers the word diminutive. He is five feet, four and a half inches

Teachers to the Dead

While we slept, you strapped your arm around my chest like armor and possession, like ‘this one belongs to me.’ Together, we are teaching the things that haunt us to lie down in their graves. Here, like this your demons say to mine as they demonstrate the art of behaving. Together, we secure their broken bodies and set them into six feet of downward motion. (but we do not follow we cannot go in their stead) They do not know they’re dead. It’s always a blow when we break the news. They find themselves jealous of our human skin and our inhaling exhal

Black and White Photography

You smell like half-hearted sex, she said, recalling the afternoon’s events. I was tired. It wasn’t working. Our bodies- bent on the same end- could not agree on a beginning. On top of my bedspread we repositioned limbs and you removed my heavy sweatshirt. I was hot. It wasn’t working. Left in a black tee-shirt, I wore a white flag and no underwear. You covered yourself as you quickly dressed- while I, in fashion, lay motionless and mourned for the stillborn thing. Later, we bought a jar of ink and a journal bound like a book. I don’t wear perfume, and this

Manuscript

I have written us down, typed us up, and sent us out. they will edit us, and say some parts are no good. but I want your run-ons, your lack of punctuation; and you are so easy on my weak binding, my damaged spine.

He was all hands

His leather skin repelled the rain, I lied in sky colours and danced in the grass, His weight on his cold elbow, I was unknown with Mary as my middle name. He built dents in my eyes, that caused my pupils to focus on nearby brickwork. I nested an embarrassment, for years divided myself into face, eyes, lips (that couldn't say no). I did not open my mind. earlier, I had put a sign on my cheek and sold me.

we were warned

I have written this story two thousand and six times, never perfect, only half-truths that make me want to hide inside boat engines and hum. There is a fish hook in my left eye, trying to be a simile, but not quite as loud as the SOS calls I have coming out, all over. I am not supposed to smoke cigarettes anymore, or kiss you on the lips on the street. But hey, what the hell! I do it anyway because we’re always hungry at the same time as each other. One hour apart. I think it’s a lighthouse signal we both missed because we’ve been hanging from these cliffs with cut feet for six weeks and I want to save you but

what she undid

You cough like pneumonia is laughing in places you have not yet uncovered. And if I were honest, from the tip of my phalanges I would say I am afraid of us, together in this rowing boat. We jigsaw together in new ways that make you uncomfortable. I was sitting on the porch this morning, at 5.43am and waiting for you to rise, with your yellow face throwing gazes in front of the clouds. You are heart disease undiscovered, an earth quake in my eyes only, but they will find you one day inside loud speakers next to mobile telephones that will not call my name. I will be filled with regret for not telling you the things they did,

Christian: Not a Label

Yes, I am a Christian. That doesn't mean I'll be showing up on your front porch Waving a Bible in your face screaming "Have you heard? Heard the Good News?" Yes, I am a Christian. That doesn't mean I'll condemn you to hell for drinking that glass of wine, Telling you to treat your body like a temple and keep it pure. Jesus Christ drank wine, didn't he? Yes, I am a Christian. That doesn't mean I'll be picketing your home, your work, your friends Just because your beliefs don't agree with mine. That's a little childish, right? Yes, I am a Christian. That doesn't mean that I devote my Sundays to God, turn off the phone, TV and ligh

PROSE What Spies Do

My dad is a rock. He is solid, he is powerful. He can still pick me up and toss me over his shoulder. He is never seen to cry, he can never be swayed or damaged by opinion. He is a real estate agent, and he pushes those deals and sways those clients with confidence and experience. He flexes his arms at the dinner table when I ask him and points exactly which way it is to the beach or the gun show. He is a tree, a mountain, a thick and formidable presence in any room, in any place, against any person. “He’s late,” my mom said, and pursed her lips through the ste

Closer

too close to see, you are too close to me, an eclipsing gaze, all arms across us, i wouldn't leave, if i could go but you know this - you knew of love once you want to know again, you try to kiss me, as if drawing love out, and breathing love in, die again and again, you'd rather, than death you've almost known, too close for comfort

Literature

Not For Me, For You

not for me to feel - nothing as far as i can see, nothing close to me, my heart is deeper under, the black wells of forget, tears are the only stars i see, why do stars burn to live dreams are mute walls; sky is lost to a vapor moon - i drift, not forever is a veil i will wear to cover me from the absence of myself; i will hide behind the anonymity of trees, for you to feel left behind

Literature

She Dances With Fire

She dances with fire, a dragon in tow. Twirling with flames; graceful and slow She dances tonight, in a city of ash. Her feet leaving footprints, where the sand will splash. Quietly mourning, as time goes by; Where once she beheld a home in her eyes... Yet naught but the barest of bones remain, And so she dances, to soothe the pain.

Despoema de amor

Deveria lhe compor versos perfeitos Que homenageariam todo seu ser Te diria que o meu sonho é te ter Mas fico com preguiça e não faço tais feitos Diria que desbravaria todo o mundo Somente pra defender seu nome Só que eu esqueci dele, to usando um pronome, Então é melhor guardar isso num buraco fundo Doaria pra te uma parte de mim Se necessário até meu coração Mas na hora do transplante eu daria uma de fujão É melhor a essa estrofe eu dar um fim Falarei então que até Lua eu te daria Mas agora de me lembro de um problema: Não consigo nem sequer puxar

Desire

Your smooth skin, It drives me crazy I want to touch you, And just maybe, You...will let me... The look in your eyes, It really drives me wild I shouldn't be surprised, That you're so tempting... You are all I can see... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Controlling me I can see... The light in your eyes, Every time you see me... The beads of perspiration, Are rolling down your face As you look away, I lean in for a little taste, Because you let me... I can see your curves, Move underneath your shirt And I can't place a price, On what this moment's worth... So revealing... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Always controlling me I can s

Our Last Kiss

If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have inhaled you deeper within me. If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have seared your taste onto my tongue. If I had known it was our last kiss, I would have scorched your scent into my skin. ... If I had known, I would have frozen time ...
