Take my tongue
To your breast
Perk your back
With warm chills

As sunlight heats
When you leave shade
So do my hands
Tracing your shape

Better hope you’re not unlucky as you cross this hilly town.

Ghillie

I am the forest
I am the moss
I feel the frost
On my face
And the chill
Of my limbs

I feel my vines
Drag along
Ivy strands
And small twigs
In the winds
Where I walk

I am the forest
Shaded in shadow
I am the canopy
Shimmering
Scarf of greens
Breathing steady

I am still
Silent in watching
Cartographer to land
This land that is mine
I am the moss
Hidden in the mist

I radiate warm
Under bark and leaf
Though my roots
Are damp and
Breaths barely visible
I am a furnace

I am the forest
Though you did...

Where there are monsters in the mist, and mysteries to confront once those monsters are defeated.

Zombie Frappe

Only because it’s
A shell of what
It could be

Soulless, vapid,
Unoriginal

Film

More idyllic
Unfortunately kinky
Than the photos on film
You take of me

Of red rivers in my back
And bruises you leave
Of the things we say
When we have a moment

How gorgeous you are
In dim light
Anticipation and tension
Is released

Catch me on film
And let me catch you
With a Canon and
A Polaroid

Fragile little photos
Of the fragile two of us
In bed together
Loving living breathing

Kissing and smiling wide
Looking into each others’
Eyes
Nose-to-nose like eskimos

Friction with each movement
E...

Empire of Stars

Every which way
All cardinal sins
And directions
Lit to horizon

With networks
Grids, webs
Of light points
All actioning

Some static
Some twinkle
And some move
As red or white

They’re all miles away
And void
Where the mountains
Become steep

Hazy as nebulae
And as they become
Further away
They grow smaller

A new Anthem in Tacoma I didn’t know existed. Across from the bookstore at UWT, I had anything but coffee or tea to drink.

Sweet Business

Taking out
Ramping off
Fired away
Trebuchet’d

Taxi and aim
Jet engines
Make sweet
Business

“I love
My job”
They
Say

Happy to be
Surging up
And onto
New horizons

Quickly powering
Past the storm
So seriously
Threatening

Far above what
Seas we see
From
Passenger seats

Into a grey fog
That burns itself
Into clouds
Of white

Breaking out
Into this new sea
Of white under an
Ocean of endless blue

Disappearing beyond
All the noise
We grip tight
To the engines

Air friction
Sweet business
Declaring solm...
