Writing and

scribbling suspiciously

comma

comma

is this how pretty poetry starts
it streams my furious veins
planting suggestions over fate
sometimes i feel noble
sometimes i feel blessed
overall i am a woman unzipping pants

pants who alone suspend the secondhand voice
discovering the intermissions
poetically roofing limbs
the cannonballs afraid to weep
communions for the nonsmokers
the high fidelity chanters

caroling heavens to stain
chiseled face madman
pressing his hands
praying the naughtiness
your lips against his chest
together you both sigh

you sigh inhaling the smoke such hands make
secretly laughing at my words
my desk my pen who resolves
abstract licks my face
i can turn this around
desert you with my pen

ink finding you absorbed
between the lines
this human flesh
short paragraphing the wished commands

Electing Germs

You the wine juggler
Hiding your ladies to lamp
Velveting their veins
Pouring pitchers of dismay

The comfortable change
Where color no longer congregates
Indulging the appropriate plumed air

The pardons that inherit
Fluffy clouds with emblems
Convincing cattle water without words
Weary words of public silence

Comfortless as salt
Guarding wallets and bank accounts
Guiding the thirsty dearest of prides

This poem lives
It lives where feet grow together
With toes well enough to diagnose
Permanently bulging foreheads to think with heart
