Communion
If I tore my chest inside out,
tempered my fingers with glass and
cracked open my heart, what's the admission
you'd make for a peek?
Can you penetrate, elbows deep, relishing its warmth, kiss my slick spot,
remove gangrenous tumors black like ink
and smile,
tenderly covering each bruise with your lips?
If I whispered in your ear, dipped in blood, would you
immediately look for a spotless sink? Or will you hold my hand
pressing into me for a better look? Would you
could you let our scent linger, mingle, become one before
excusing yourself to the little girl's room, announcing me
unclean.
Here I am dripping come stand by my side. Come
near come close come see come can't you fucking come.
I will sear you open, bandage YOUR wounds, kiss your pumping veins
collect the pieces falling far behind and press them in that damned
book of love we both left to rot in our shared torture chambers.
Come undone before me and I'll hand you the key. Press
your breast to mine and listen to the rush, scream my name,
and I'll bottle our shared tears and drink from them
eternally.

in cold blood
The tree outside my window
leans to the left
banks to the right in the
heavy-handed wind.
It appears lazy or complacent as
it sways back and forth.
Graceful.
The wind beats around its limbs like
an angry lover.
It waves at me. I wave in return. Wait.
I don't want to leave a bad impression, it
may think I'm crazy.
Unfounded.
I wonder how it stands up
to the onslaught as the gale
picks up, turns violent. The heavens
above look down, dark with revolution.
Sinuous clouds reach from the sky.
My heart tugs, willing me to go out;
keep it from harm. I do not.
I am afraid.
My inaction may leave a bad impression,
the tree will think I am thoughtless.
Wooden.
It stands its ground amid the hell
falling from the sky. I watch in
horror as the tree leans to me,
reaching, imploring.
In wonder I watch as shiny, green leaves swirl in
unison finally breaking free from its mother's
firm grip; like a baby's tenuous first steps.
With a heavy sigh, it is over.
I approach with my head down knowing the
tree does the same.
Me with my shame, the tree and its storm.
After collecting shattered, scattered
leaves, I place them on the ground around
the base as an offering.
From the porch I risk one last look.
Twinkling in the sun,
I swear, the tree,
it waves at me.

boy howdy
I am just blank these days. Jet-lag-move-let-down.....so, pathetically, I will post the easiest means of getting my love, hate, angst, and utter bullshit across through pictures. Sad. Forgive me Blogger for my Tumblr Sins over the next few days.
