Shiny New Fuck-Me Boots and a Smile

patent leather boots,
buckled corset, fishnets, but
the highlight, her smirk

Solidify

she calms ragged breath
takes my shaking hands in hers
ends the sudden storm

she reminds me I’m human
feelings will pass; she will stay

Somnia

sleep is not for me
no movement, no air, no breath
hanging dark summer

In Pieces

dismember myself
dividing smaller, smaller
then finally gone

Public Face

just these whispered words
a hand at your back, pressing
and hungry for more

And Then Fridays We Order Pizza

lukewarm meat, dry blood
dull whimpers instead of screams
it’s just leftovers again

Yes, I know this is posted late. For some reason it got stuck in draft.

Surgery

the scalpel, a hair
to the right, the difference
between breath and tears

Smoke Inhalation

I can’t breathe, you drift
into my lungs and sit on
my thoughts, infect me.

30 April

a sudden last day
april passes quietly
summer comes upon

Overtime

cranking the last hour
it doesn’t seem like so much
you should be home now
