Here

in comfort

physical, sensual joy

yet desiring to be elsewhere

I resort to deconstructing 

ideals. My prized ideals

Strip of fabric slips

off my leg

Bringing me 

here

I smile at you, life

If I were to write a poem

after I fell in love 

in the first decade of my life

it would plead to hold me

and attent to me fully

To gift a poem today

I write that I love me

so fully that I'd like to 

share that feeling

with you

I ran out of things

to say

He slabbed off 

the granite that wasn't needed

to create his art

so we could free our dreams

as already happened

slabbing off thoughts

in the way of life

Flowers or a lighter

many Things possess me

I ask them why 

now I want to know 

Breathe

For guidance

clarity

Be outside

in lux time

Christmas tree decoration 

fell and broke 

Thank God! 

Everything is as it should be

this childhood

I've gotten used to bitter

morning drinks

because the sugar and all that 

you know...

And now I enjoy the hair on my chest

But have you had that person

in your life with whom you could

but can't, because you know... 

You're unavailable or they are

Ideals get into the way of things

What would it take to dump 

some sugar & caffeine into this cup 

and lose some, but also gain

a whole life

I imagine myself laying 

down slowly all day

ala Marc Marronnier

and catching insights carefully

with my Medusa fork

Went on Etsy

looking for shoes

Angel numbers tell me

$350 is unlocking new

beginnings

In this bloodless valley

inside my veins

is the infinite nature

of energy

Running wild like god

The creation of any thing 

is its beginning of change 

Expect to be in awe

instead of holding onto

the original shape
