One: Untitled

A logic of patterns
align at once.


Two: Robiel

He's sharing at once his most intimate self,
then looks at me to do the same,
uncomprehending of the shallow depths
he cannot pierce with light,
but would only soak him to his ankles
if he stepped inside.


Three: To Narcissistic Idealists

I was underexposed to music
and cannot translate into a rhythmic language
that which I speak. So my words may be harsher,
more honest, the stuff that most can't take—
I like to think we'll be forgotten spectacularly.


Four: always in may—

meadow lark of the late spring
whistles to me in His tune:
an aubade, crisp and longing,
renders me awestruck,
wanting what I left in Ourself.


Five: Mami's Poem

"how deep is our disgust for women
that imbedded in the two languages we speak,
our nouns to describe her are softer,
less powerful on the tongue."
oops found more of these.
