• The Louvre, the Funhouse, the Disco

    April 24th arrives
    already half‑forgotten,
    like a dream you try to hold
    but it keeps slipping
    through the fingers of your mind.

    It brings with it
    a fading memory
    of the main room
    of the Louvre…
    not the paintings,
    not the tourists,
    not the velvet ropes,
    but the room itself:
    its b…Read More

  • Nativity of Loss
    (I will always love you, my heart.)

    I read a poem that evoked a tear
    a single, trembling drop
    that spun me backward,
    into shadows of what was
    and the ever-present numbness
    of could-have-beens.

    25 days to go…
    The air tastes different now,
    heavier with memory,
    as the earth tilts toward the same cold light
    year a…Read More

  • MaryJane’s Last Dance

    It was day 23 of Poetry Month
    when you walked through the door,
    And I said,
    “Oh my, my. Oh hell yes”
    as my eyes landed on
    that party dress;
    thigh high red with
    a side slit stare, and
    I was pulled into your sway.
    MaryJane delights
    played in my mind,
    like how smoke and fog
    swirled in kaleidoscope air,
    and we be…Read More

  • F*ck the Game

    anyone could tell you
    I was never a raving beauty
    even my family would agree

    too many freckles
    not enough oomph
    that indefinable thing
    (whatever it was)
    that made other girls stunning

    think of them as Barbies
    and me…a paper doll
    not much without all the added extras
    and even they left details…Read More

  • The Multicolored Vision of an Impossible Insect

    April 23rd opens its eyes
    in multiple colors at once.
    Not a spectrum,
    not a rainbow,
    but a fractured prism
    held together by the trembling wings
    of an insect
    that should not exist
    and yet insists on doing so.

    This creature,
    half mosquito,
    half fly,
    half something else…Read More
