New Poems 2004

Hidden But Safe i am a solid black volcano island no life survives daily, new fish die choking on the fear i spew-- you won't know how i transfigured, so harsh a condition has finally beat submission and now i thrive in hot lava i revive my thick caste of ash keeping out the cold-- rain boils on my surface and evaporates yet i thirst and cannot be satisfied until i leave my shell behind.	Benched Hope benched hope rules with lawless disregard for reality though wait on both ends arches her back she bends the bend that holds creates an uncorrupt fate
Icicles i'll take you in pieces as long as you keep sending them in the mail i'll take you in pieces as long as you keep dripping into my line	i sang for you tonight and my voice haunted all who heard. i savor your intensity still hanging on to what's left of you.
i have not disturbed your change carelessly left on my endtable. i have not disturbed your change of mind carelessly crumpling my heart.	i make it obvious but you choose ambiguity sending me the same trash i asked not to be sent. you create healthy boundaries but don't respect them yourself. don't tell me what you don't want to say and i won't know but yet you give it away.
