She's So Cold

Pen A Trait


The wind chimer froze
as iciclets erection
from the underneathith.
Cocked center clomper,
string-locked quite crick-ed,
so no songs till spring thaw
when some dripping beats
unsleep; a contrite trickle
will drumskin like rain
as musicality swirls
swallowing the wind.

Cooked

The last bill was paid
with the last dollar made,
no raise in four years
what will we eat
tom-or-row

Change

Dollar store
bargains
used to be
five and dime.

Heat

I love the fire
in your eyes,
will your body
keep me warm?

Anyway

Post from far away
addressed me today
I have nothing to say
but I read it anyway.

Line

Always
waiting
for
the
line

to
move
up

Skin

A particular breeze
is not felt by one
who hasn't skin.

Today's News

In the morning, he slid the news
in her box. The headlines
trickle down her leg all day.

Only A Girl

She is durable,
plenty sandpaper
to make the wood
sliver smooth.

After kisses

A bee sleeps in my mouth,
lips sting. Honey, I love you.
