Narrow streets
and wandering alleys
welcoming sign
at the Mermaid inn
high on wine
and history
and night falling
and imagining you
your beauty
your body
and skin

(Ph by me - Rye)

Oh, to breathe
your name
at the top
of your thighs

the world folds itself
into origami distances
where every crease
shapes a new horizon
and we are lost in its lines

Every true artist is the salvation of every other. Only artists produce for each other a world that is fit to live in.

freckled with brown hares

She is lost in his words
He is lost in her beauty
They do not want
to be found

To rise in consciousness without love is to stretch into abstraction —
a sky vast yet cold, where light travels without warmth.

To love without consciousness is to burn without form —
a fire fierce but blind, consuming without understanding.

The full bloom of being, presence entwine.

scarecrow’s straw head
filled with fluttering dreams
of black raven wings

when you feel
a pull towards
someone or
something...

let yourself
feel it.

I want you
more than you know
more than I can say
And you feel it
I think

spun—
laughter soft,
breath on edge.

the room bends,
time loosens hold;
held up above,

vertigo tremors
rush under skin—
weightless we float,
we drift
awake
in a dream
of molten air.

You are not here
but there are
a thousand ways
I feel you
in my day

Lying in satisfied
silence as we
"smoke cigarettes"—
old Hollywood
movie code to keep
the censors happy,
hair as disheveled
as my sense of self,
responsibilities
trapped in
ruffled bedsheets,
wondering if I should
have said "no"
when he asked
if I needed anything.
