He lives in a #tower of stone
With moss filling in the cracks,
Every day he looks at the Crone
Who lives across the creeks;

A destined love fated to never
Meet but by whims of beavers.

Everything that he's touched

From his razor, to my skin
Crawls around on sideways crab legs

He savors my rivets, the indifferent limb
Across the pillows on our flotsam bed

The only time the sailor in him
Harpoons me gently

He mounts my pain

"Matrioshka" was a hard poem to write. How can you absolve a lifetime of maternal trauma without abandoning either woman?

I grew up in an intensely female space. For better or worse, it shaped me. This poem is less of a confession and more of a diagnosis of a godhead...

To look at you
In your Grace Kelly composure

Every finger bearing a ring -
Opal, blood jasper, pearl, sapphire

Pewter, silver, glinting and winking
Only the quiver

Of your Chesterfield cigarette
Frays the raiment of the ice queen skit

I feel sorry for the Cassini probe
It's scraped quartz
Pointing empty north, nothing follows

On the cusp
Of incandescent destiny
Cassini is faithful, it keeps pointing

To the only home it's been built to know
As it's flesh drips to molten Lethe

My poem "Cow Tool" is a satirical ode to capitalism as it relates to misogyny.

Deadpan, efficient, and ultimately meaningless - the speaker is selling a product that is shaped like a woman, but whose interiority is completely dictated by what purpose she serves.

paper planes aflame

plummeting

wings shorn
of feathers

a flickering light

not for any reason

just emotions flaring
in that nascent dark

a magnet
that has no sense
of true north

why surrender
to timid
lines of electricity

i need
to bite into
live wire

and feel again

Bearing her fire bosom

They build the pyre anonymously
Even as the skin of Tlaloc
Flays its rain and whips its brightness
Into white and blue ribbons

They are not afraid of tempests
Only conscious of costs and timesheets
The price of milk excites them
For they can triple it
By adding water

The quiet snarl
Of the electric wire

Drunk on lightning
Bolt through a heart flower

Two halved cherries
At the crossing

Twin jeweled pools
My favorite ruse

To nothing
