fear swims in my chest
takes root in my gut–the phone
rings and rings next door

ecentipede: CLXIV February 11, 2009

unseasonable
warmth is delicious, wicked
but does not soak in

ecentipede: CLXIII February 11, 2009

in the in-between
choices seem weighted, wasted
waiting for the new

ecentipede: CLXII February 11, 2009

fear makes us forget
kindness is replaced with still
caution and silence

Tanglethis – One seventy February 9, 2009

How ridiculous:
a sworn hedonist who fears
pleasure (or its loss?).

Tanglethis – One sixty nine February 9, 2009

I keep losing sight
of the soft, quiet spaces
I made, or replaced.

him:                             her:
two heavy parkas          tawny fur coat
einstein mustache         race car red
striped hat                   shiny fake curls
four canvas bags          cash jumble
smirk                           chatter

Tanglethis – One Sixty Eight February 3, 2009

To put into words
this feeling – does it change it,
or make it more real?
