TRICKS
Behind this facade
I am hiding a
wanting whore
made chaste
from my own
demise
In years
I will tell
all that I
lied to you
In years
I will show
all that I
have kept
secret
When that time
is all that we have
it won't matter
and I'll just
cash in
UNTITLED
Set loose light
Stumble down
to find me
I give you red
hair and water
Lips and rain
and fire
Breath in
the sunlight
shed from
my eyes
Kiss me in
cities we have
yet to go and
float between my ribs
with poetry on
your tongue
YOU DIRECT ME IN CIRCLES
All we have shared
adds up to nothing
Pass the beans and
close the door
Just leave me
as I found you
Let this circle
be broken
Let this facade
see the light
of day
PUBLIC DOMAIN
In the foyer
two teens grope
Not quite sure
what it is that
they will find or
what to do with
it when in hand
Adults tsk tsk
w/scornful glares
walking by their
own past to bitch
enroute to their cars
Too soon they will
become cliches'
Teenage parents
unaware of what
they found
