you exist in fog
and dissolve in light
the darkness is
a freedom
to know you deeper
i refuse to think of you
and cork the hole through which dreams pour
it is like discarding a crate of dark berries
raspboysenblack their
sweet tang simply falls apart
what we let ourselves become
where else will imagination matter
where is the world
's nicest zoo and what
stymied lions live there
cursed, content unhunters
whose badged handlers toss them things
like thanksgiving dinner
what (if) would the cats trade for say
a bite of zebra throat?
all i am is late
awaiting a bus that gets here
when it wants
what about what i want?
my cake
grains of sugar dissolving over
how long my canines
well i (and you think i) never
get killer at all however
my eyes flare when i catch the lion's eye
you are
remotely, so very beautiful
like the crest of a wooded range at dawn
whose tiny trees are taller than my house
every one
under them i might
make love to you
on green needles
