Man Lusts Man (2013)

He is arterial,in the cell-bulging way,splintering off into capillary moments— plot-points roll down his skin,exuded by him to keep his internal temp. a crystalizing fuck yeah. his dimples tell dirty jokes,his eyes write theses,his voice is the sound of thunder on a clear day–    lighting piercing a snowstorm,    smoke without fire,    a third-hand desciple that …

Masculine (2015)

Sometimes in the mornings I stare at myself in the mirror. It isn’t vanity that drives this, as I sit there picking apart all the scars on my skin, how my teeth are never white like other peoples, how the shape of my face is wrong, how my stomach has grown, how thin my hair …

Love for Viperslang (2013)

In shorts,you do far more than pants would ever allow. One more reason pants are inferior. Also, your snark is pleasantly venomous.

Love poems from Millenials. (2013)

If you ever love me,and you write poems–    if you compare me to things I can never be, Bradbury did something with a weathervein,that echoed Shakespeare’s witches,“Something wicked this way comes.” I’ve been far too many failed expectations,and I’d think you’d understand the feeling,what with us all being:fat,lazy,useless,uncaring,selfish,ungrateful,assholes. We’ve been left a shit world here,but …

Luci (2014)

I wrote you a love poem,garnished it with pepper,and served it flambe. And they all turned it down,they all turned it down.Told me writing was about writing,and what the hell was I doing,writing about you?                              writing about,                                               …

Losing (2013)

Emotional instability means,I don’t need a reason to be upset,To be god-damned angry, And you and I both know,No matter how much I take it out on you,It’s really me I hate. This isn’t chess against myself,Whoever wins,I lose. Emotional instability means,My reasons don’t have to make sense,Because I don’t understand either. And I’m as …

Love (2014)

The first definition is is 52 letters long. My definition is four women long, eight years long and capped with [more to come…] My favorite, had pale skin and hormones wild as March rain.                                 and when they noticed that I didn’t care,                       …

Love for Scherezade (2013)

boot shakin’ good sense up in that head,venom-sheened lips,and an army of Guinea pigs, one-punch-two-KO poetry,oozin’ out in surrealist, multilingual,    monolithic, ‘n oppressively inspirational fashion.writin’ to wrap your head around and bend it ’til it breaks,    despite my arguments otherwise,        more than worthy of an affair,        if only to grow warm next to …

Lock-Down (2017)

Been focusing on security at work,not like we’re fighting off NSA threats,just your basic padlock on a locker,deadbolt on a door kind of code.       and I can’t,           can’t quite see where all this will go,and unlike literally anything else in lifeI can plan around that. make the clever choices where:       I may not …

long haul 22 (2013)

It’s been a long-haul 22 gettin’ here,    from there. winter, winter seems like it’s the hardest,    least these last few. drunk ass mother-fucker comes into the store tonight,    reeks of listerine ‘n gin ‘n beer,    but he knows the store manager,    so we sell to his sober friend.    tellin’ me how he raises money for …
