Golden Boy


Some people gleam
You cannot read their faces
But vacant beauty has its moments
I cannot remember your eyes now
But you shed glitter on my skin
And we were gold.

Wednesday

Time, They Say, Is Curved, and So Is Space


A woman is an hourglass
Sometimes, world, you ask too much
I must at moments turn my back on you
World
Remember, time, they say, is warped
And space is curved
Beyond geometry or ruthless
Measurements of man.
The wisdom of the world is in its curves
Because they are not closed, contained, or sealed
Let the pillow be “X” and the foot “Y”
And when you bend to me
The point at which our bellies meet
Is the intersection of the graph
Not to do this would be highly out of place
For time, they say, is curved, and so is space.

Tuesday

Happy New Year, Babycakes


Ah, Ah, domestic life
Give me a little mood lighting
Some bubbles in a glass
Give me my love
Who knows everything about me
Who knows nothing about me
New Years tumble by fast
Quick, take off your fake face
Show your true self to the one who
sits beside you
Drink a glass full of surprises.

Monday

Not All Angels Are Made of Stone




Sometimes goodbye is a deliriously good word
Not goodbye to our beloved
Not goodbye to our dreams
Not goodbye to pure things
But yes goodbye
Yes goodbye to bad years
Yes goodbye
Let all stone angels breathe with life
And wrap their arms around me.
