frisson
“It’s easy to fall in love. The hard part is finding someone to catch you.”
our dialogue of desert flowers
silverleaf scorpion weed,
chicory, saguaro, evening
primrose; I accept their silence
like laundry blown to the dirt.
lace and plastic
divergent equanimity
splitting occurs when there’s
not enough water.
trees part to toast the
secular startlight
we drink tequila sunrise
tight chuparosa miniskirts
tease moonbeams with
bare breasts.
you purred
indistinctly
I hissed
sliding on my belly
wounded.
tristful
velvet romance
a dark sparrow lifts its head
archetype of these traps.
