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

Letter to be Sent by Comet

Dear pilot of mine, It's not as if I'll ever send this, because it's merely self-indulgent crap written on a coffee break. The others don't know what I'm doing, and they won't look over my shoulder, either, because I'm an administrator and you don't do that to administrators. Not even those who have had so many cups of coffee (espresso, too) already that their hands are starting to shake. It's a bit hard to type but this is for you, dear. We both know by now that it was all lies that they told us. Not that they meant to lie to us, or anything, it just turned out that way – because we all really believed this was the future of humanity,

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.

Literature

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

most of us go quietly

with birth we are 'opened' - death we are 'shut' we cooperate - generally live 'flowingly' - but some exist to be fondly recalled - we suppose others are purposely popular - in nice clothes unless one invents 'the better mousetrap' receives The Nobel or whatever nice crap is amazingly famous - or infamous-ly known our one parting shot will be on our gravestone beneath it - we'll molder away for a while after keeping this mindful thru-out our last mile: the cosmic and random had brought us thus far we were never the focus - truly - never the star llp - dA - mar2022

poetry: spring of dreams

unfettered lies liaisons of beings fear of the truth my crystal tears maiden in white tufts of dandelions no fury, no agony close your eyes symphony of purity kaleidoscope of peace breeze embalming the body sweet, sweet dreams when I die play this song and think of me as I dance at the spring of dreams
