A clueless image

He pulled the trigger back Like moving a piece into check. Slapping the air as it dived, The bullet jumped Over Reaching clouds of men. Hammering through the skin like a nail A tiny whole in the hand that, Like a photo frame, was hung up in the air Calling over to his friend for reinforcement.

TRAIL … My neck burns, watching rows of Ants scuttle past leftrightleftrightleftrightleftrightleftright Through locks of black hair draped over my face Like a […]

Bluebeard.

Stumbling; I entered – Breaking the water like a child Splashes in a puddle. The tips of my fingers caressed The wooden edge of the door, Along the wall and slapped the light switch on.

Solstice

A sock Like a poem Holds everything And nothing Squeezed Within it. I guess I should Just Simply Throw it Away.

Accident

I measure love out in bruises; The thumpthump of a beating Heart tired of excuses – like the Withering tongue of a cigarette Passed from mouth to mouth: The ashen remains of a kiss… I measure out love in bruises… That’s an ambiguous line Whose love? Yours or mine? What does measure mean? And are […]
