some stuff from the last months
silence
eats at the heart.
empty moments
constant expectation
consuming,
a little hollow at first
now a great void.
if there is no noise soon,
no break to this monotony
(even a tiny cough will do),
I will vanish
devoured
from within
by want.
The romans perfected the arch
to vault great spaces
to defy gravity
by directing its crippling forces
into two piers
into the ground.
The perfect arch of your eyebrow
vaults the distance between us
defying all that is earthbound
in my heart.
Let us stand through time
two strong piers united
by a roman arch.
a bit of january inspiration
A taxi ride spent wanting more
We barely made it through the door
but no progress beyond the hall
A pair of bodies bouncing off the wall
we pressed against each other
kisses following on one another
clothes an annoying distraction
to our demanding joint attraction
the floor was cold, we were not
the door was open, we forgot.
Closed with a well placed kick
we returned to kiss, caress, lick
Need fed on need, Skin on skin
instinct led us to where to begin
we drove on in mounting bliss
ending with a long gentle kiss
sweaty, exhausted and totally in thrall
of our passion (barely) in the hall
cold snap
Yesterday the temperature was
minus forty in Boston,
a record low in New York
and a cup of water
thrown in the air in Vermont
froze before striking the ground.
If we were northern yankees,
living in the glare of a freeze,
perhaps the weather would cool
a relationship straining
against desire.
Instead of dripping
in pointed heat,
we could juggle coolly
the neat snowballs
of our lives.
If this summer continues,
our relationship is
as stable as a cup
frozen in mid air.
the motor rumbles
the chassis shakes
the suspension gives
less than the brakes
in a tight corner
the back end goes
the last clean duco
well, nobody knows.
its only good feature
a big wide backseat
and memories of nights
of contortionist feats
the windows steam
and the body rocks
as we bounce the car
down on its shocks
from kissing to necking
from petting to more
we would use it more often
if I could open the door
