a shard heart
heres the bend
before the break
where the light
bright passes through

dont cut your fingers
as startled the thick
wind of a ravens wing
swoops overhead
and the shadow
obscures
and fear ignites
before exploding in wonder

just a small bead of blood
like ink for scribing
the tender point
like a flint blade

I'll write love Haikus
across your delicate
chest just below the
bow of clavicle

a dedication on the
lean muscle of thigh
hyacynth upon your
ankle to slake moon
wonder in fingerprint
trace
the vellum of your
being sturdy and delicate

we are so common
dime and dozens
our dull smiles in the
looking glass
our smeared embraces
darkening the broken
legged chaise lounge
the colour of twilight
in mid November

Cohiba tip an angry rose
you poise it to my wrists
the rapture of pains
exctasy as you drink
in my exhaltation
my feelings

we layer like veneer
historys
torching out the eyes
on disliked photographs
the sacred Gitanes
and spilling Pernod
and sprawled naked
picnic flesh
