[28 Mar 2008|10:26pm]
a summer so muggy
and so free;
my jubilant feet, unfolded,
carry me frontward, backward, sideward,
half a skipping-dance.
i am playing
saxophone with
bare arms & tangles & tan on cheerful display.
& i am riding a bicycle, and i've
painted it yellow
and i am sailing to the bagel shop
on swift wheels.

and then, later,
i am laughing on a balcony
with boys and girls
who are laughing and drinking red wine
& inside there is someone
playing a cello and we are all dancing and it is hot
and it smells hot.

and at the end
i am laying in bed
up near the ceiling,
looking out the open door into
the night,
thinking of the whirl
and the tune
and the beautiful faces
with their sparkling eyes.

true stories to whisper into the night. [07 Jan 2008|03:12pm]
1.
once there was a girl
who met herself
and found that she wasn't
as wild
as she ought to be.

2.
quite a few years ago
there was a beautiful young woman
with long black hair
and big brown eyes.
she fell in love with a narco-trafficker
the biggest one in mexico.
one day he was put in jail,
and his family thought that the woman
had leaked him
so they tried to kill her
but she escaped.
she changed her name,
and she went on hormones
and cut off her breasts
and shrank of her hips
and grew big shoulders
and hair on her face.
and she cut off her long black hair
like a man's
and ran.
now she washes dishes all day everyday
saving up to change back.

3.
just now there was a little boy
too shy to say
he liked my drawings.
i smiled.
he was a lot like me.

a thing i found in a sketchbook of mine. [20 Nov 2007|02:33pm]
i sewed it in - like a
promise i'd
always be there.
impose you on my
flesh, please baby
like you're imposed
on my mind sweet
honey-mouthed muse.
dancing drum beat
guitar string gypsy queen

Inside of me are [22 Jun 2007|01:45am]
pretty little images of
beautiful times
that never happened.
