APARTMENT Throw the dishes in the oven. Bedroom above Lying awake, |
|
OHIO RIVER At night it reminds me |
|
REAL POETRY Write sometimes in my absence: These are all I keep on sleepless nights, I want to live in my mind, |
|
OUT THERE In the rain- I stand in the water he holds |
|
I'M NOT AFRAID OF SHALLOW WATER It is the deep, Swallowed, Can I be a friend with motives? Better to walk away |
|
I DON'T WANT HIS FINGERS I want the strings I want keys up my thighs |
