After Sunrise
A golden rock
Amber ombre
Ambling under
The bottom of a river.
The river a shimmering sun
And standing inside it
I leap in to swim.
At the bar
Your stained glass eyes
Are pretty and big.
They drop a tear in
Amber Lagavulin.
Oh my baby,
Delusion angel,
My angry itch.
For you I am
Desperate words shouted
Under water in a river
As I
Reach for a gold pebble
That belongs to the river
But never to me.
I reach.
For a second,
My palm holds
Your warm cheek.
Don’t you know me by now?
Corporate Holiday Poem
The vinyl spins
By our bed
Today the whole country is in love
And sold out of paper cards
My thin wallet blushes
I ran out of green paper
And spent it all
On our thirst for red wine
Drinking the last drops I rise
And walk out my bedroom
And step
Over your clothes
Toward the bathroom
You slump in bed
And look out the window
It’s not quite dark
Dark blues are riding the wind
Over the horizon
The woman in the window
Across the street
Waves her arms down
Like golden pothos
To dust her floor
And collect bunnies and mites
Dressed in a greasy nightgown
I come back to lay with you
And draw the curtains
And there’s dandruff stars
In the night of your hair
