9 February, 2011 - "The Extra Lens"

"The Extra Lens"

Frame me, chain me.
Wear me and gaze.
Reflection gazing
Backward.
Through the lens
Through the lens
Again
Looking upward
Downward
Right
There
now

8 February, 2011 - Haiku

Steps lead to subways,
Trains swallowed, maneuvering
The city's innards.

7 February, 2011 - "Sewers"

"Sewers"

Houses cracking in the distance
Falling upon the tarnished earth
Losing
Window panes lined with diamonds
Stretching beneath
Deep
Beneath
Sewers

6 February, 2011 - Haiku

Picking the marrow,
Husks lining the drained basin,
Buried forgotten.

5 February, 2011 - Haiku

Drifting through the cracks
The pebbles travel downward
Falling endlessly

4 February, 2011 - Haiku

Pouring, from the tree
Ashes blanketing the earth,
Assaulting the ground.

25 March, 2010 - Mine Fields

"Mine Fields"

Rising from our graves every morning
I stumble around the dusty room,
Shattered photos you tossed last night
Shed glass shards prodding my bare feet,
My makeshift alarm. And my screams
Leave You
Numb.

Bounding over our broken chairs
Littering our Persian carpets
I descend to the unkempt kitchen,
Wheezing refrigerator left ajar
Misplaced gallons of ice cream, half eaten,
In Silence
Melt.

Beyond the window our picket fence is falling,
One white stake at a time drops;
I pour the last glass of orange juice,
You push past the sinking rafters,
Warmth dances up my spine, eyes rising,
Our Gazes
Meet.
