Tanglethis – Thirty-seven July 31, 2008

Every part of me
yearns to yield itself – except
my brain, which resists.

today i smiled when
he threatened (as usual)
to eat the love birds

Tanglethis – thirty-six July 30, 2008

so angry so long
I stared at his face without
recognizing it

i will not be an
enabler, yet i wonder
how she will cope. no.

Stove Dream

A stray hair floated
into the gas flame, and fire
burst forth from each eye.

It burned for hours,
feeding on all the dark stains
I’d left in my wake.

the wandering touch
of cool, heady breezes full
of fragrance and damp

Tanglethis – Thirty-four July 28, 2008

I make a garden
for ideas, and feel such glee
when new thoughts emerge!

ecentipede: XXXVI July 28, 2008

resisting life’s pull
cocooned, entwined, we claim a
rainy midday nap

Tanglethis – Thirty-three July 27, 2008

She shimmers like a
shallow pool; I mutter darkly
from my muddy depth.

ecentipede: XXXV July 27, 2008

irrationally
frustrated by something so
inconsequential
