Wishing For Fiction
Sunday, November 22, 2009

I dreamt of horses
hooves striking splintering against
empty concrete streets
a surface alien

shear echoes chased them
between glimmering walls
sounds until then unknown to
such vigilant ears

the sounds of an unfamiliar predator
but a predator nonetheless

I am thinking of writing you letters
not in the flickering flippant cast
of antisocial netresting

rather in the lonely glow
of far cities
and hungry fires

penned in a hand that could only be mine
on the found paper of circumstance
stained with the purpose of ink
and the happenstance of drink and sauce and earth

I will you tell many things
all of which translate to
I am lost
It is you I miss

I will both steal and make envelopes
binding the contents with the wet of my tongue
or anything that clings fast

cast your stars across
the broadness of my back
broadness of my shoulders
constellations in negative

name them after our daughters yet to be
our sisters past
our mothers always

name them for our loves

I'm listening to what she sings
and smelling burning leaves
I'm listening to what she sings
one - two - three - four
and this season smells like smoke and rot
like burning leaves
like incineration and decomposition
burning leaves
but I still hear her sing through the smoke
one - two - three - four
and when disappearing and dying seem to be in season
I think of how to pull out the deepest roots and keep growing

fold me in thirds
suitable an envelope
ready to be sealed
by the slickness of your tongue

hate crime

I'm not sure that they knew enough about you
or what the thing they labeled you as
to inspire hate
I'm not sure that they hated anything
other than the world
loudly
or themselves
silently
or what they had not become
in ignorance

If someone has hated me I've not known of it
I have not given reason for that kind of passion
at least not more than a one night stand's worth of hate

but sometimes that's all it takes


not done. seems to be going somewhere.

This hum brings every beauty into glowing focus
from rhythmic toes
flexing flesh and bone metronomes
to straining fingers
finding home in a fretless land
