Two Poems

cheating eyes, the video

 

 

cheating eyes, the video

howl back at the wind

blow the leaves back to the trees, rewind

 

finger the remote control

dial the zephyr, watch the playback slowly

magnetic strip of jungle, bamboozled

 

find your grace within

hang yourself between two frames

let the art scam you

 

 

 

 

conversation flow

 

 

oh, how i’d love to warm up to you again,

and let the conversation flow from my tongue fluid as ever.

so juicy, like my spit

 

watch my tongue swell]

 

the words all deep like

i used to take your penis in my mouth.

or perhaps even deeper like

the way it felt like to live inside me

 

instead the words are coming out

like odd spasms of white sludge

as i slowly choke on this

sperm

tear or ?

word [hint: circle the right answer]

 

missing you completely

while our conversation is steadily oozing on the floor.
