tangled affection v
I knew a woman lovely in her chromosomes
Enzymes, catalysts, ribonucleic acid
worked together day and night
to induce visions of her ass
across my internal slate
always drawing me in
and down there
again and again
where I never asked to be.

tangled affection iv
A cell leaked
a little nucleic acid
which spilled out
some genetic instructions
and left my development
functioning
in strange ways.

tangled affection iii
A piquancy
between pain and pleasure
a taunt tension
that leaves me unable to move
as all you do
is gently lift your lips
and smile at me.

tangled affection ii
So deep in love am I
it must have taken
a million generations
of groping
weeded, truncated
and filtered
through a future lens
that saw you coming.

tangled affection
My love is a red, red molecule
a freshly minted DNA recombination
modified to accomplish
just the right twist
of ambient effect.

spectral smears
Spectral smears
on patches of oil
floating in a warm puddle
on the sidewalk
nearby
swirls of rainbow taffy
melt in the sun
a feast for ants.

spectral smears
an eternal refrain
The washed out image of your face
coming back to life
as my finger tips trace
hollowed grounds of velvet.
Chimerical and illusory
the fleeting sensation of love
as my lips brush across skin
long left neglected.
Diminutive birds
with wings so swift
I never see them
as they hover near
and whisper soft secrets
telling me how to touch you
in unforeseen ways
that give rise to shivers.
Black smoke on the horizon
clouds everything
except for what we have now
tucked away in our own secret world
playing an old rhapsody
singing
an eternal refrain.

an eternal refrain
hearing noises
Hearing noises
out of mouse holes
scattered around the room.

hearing noises
haiku: small clattering teeth
Small clattering teeth
put away in a cupboard
for another day.

small clattering teeth
hammers that hit the ground
Hammers that hit the ground
before your ears have popped
high up in the sky
where you feel
down.
Ginger ale that vibrates
in little waves
while your cup moves
slowly
across the tray.
In the air a crackle
then a tear
a whiff at first
then a potent puff
the smell of peanuts
and of beer.
