much iz stuff i submitted tu lit. mag, some of which published in it, other, that wasnt.
now for newer stuff..
[Spiders and You]
you and your silly intuitions.
a spider draws a line in the soft brown clay, with a
paralyzed leg + you must make it your whim.
Thats what brought you here to me,
months ago,
with those love-deprived eyes.
You tell me that you'll
stay for me.
You wrote it in the sand.
but you can become invisible
by merely digging a hole
on the back of your hand
with that ragged piece of charcoal.
You'll never leave me.
I'll pack you up in a little box
and drape it with shells +
exhausted prayers or maybe
i'll string you
on my necklace, and you can touch
my shoulders forever.
but i return from
the ladies room, the room
where we once giggled and touched, to find
a spiders leg in you're clay.
a shallowly scrawled
goodbye of charcoal on my napkin.
And you are gone.
I follow your leaving trail by the scent
of your tears.
thick footsteps out the
badly windexed glass doors-
pushing instead of pulling,
which led me to nowhere.
A minute to which i may have saved you.
out to the slush.
the fresh oil leak from your rusty
station wagon.
It even tastes like you.
And when i lay in it
it feels like you-
warm and creamy.
While around me lives
weave in through the ice
and spiders
die in the cold, limb by limb.

[Winter]
so it's a little brisk outside
Cold as hell they say,
and i never fully understood
why so many cliches
revolve around temperature and Hell.
and i've always dreamed
of whether Satan has an ice palace
I mean
if i lived in eternal fire
And had the power to
i'd make a place
To cool off and drink
pina coladas. Something
tells me the Anti-Christ likes pina coladas
Does the cold always have to
be so blue?
Ice and snow
when we were young
was always Coloured blue and silver
but isn't the hottest fire, blue in shade?
red should represent the ice
and then Heaven would be the fernace
And Purgatory could be an ice skating rink
yes, for so many people fall
and Break
that it would be a hell.
* * * more to come once i have time. but i'm lazy.
