Footsteps

The One That Got Away
Every last kiss,
a rupture in her psyche–
Unsteady walk home.

Noveltease

henri-cartier-bresson-martines-legs
Tuesday afternoon, blowing off
work to find his lover,
in bed, fondling Madame Bovary’s
text
under the covers,
literary flint and tease sparking
his novel request–May I read
between your legs?

Whirl

Whirling, to net wind,
Nature, ordained to coerce,
gives breath to poems.

Wither

From morning to noon,
the roses gathered to grieve
the loss of their bloom.

Kind of Blue, Too

cyanotype 7
Spiders to Mozart,
what luminous webs
and notes we weave,
snot-strands from God’s blown brass,
tapestries of the eternal boombox,
breakbeats to spacefolk to bebop
within a deep forest
kind of blue,
the music, recorded
or un, plays on
and on, umbilical
in its immaculate tethers
and lighted reach.

Bulbs

Cyanotype 3
Incandescence,
how bulbs aspire
to fragrant gospel.

Keen

Cyanotype 2
Her secret refuge,
at childhood’s keen edge, flirting
with grace on the rim.

Ink

Cyanotype 1
She scattered white light
through the context of blue ink–
Heartbreak, Chapter Two.

Music

cyano type 6 christian-marclay-memento-survival-of-the-fittest-2008-web1
To listen with eyes,
in a forest of deep blue–
Music spiring dreams.

Film Still

She, the heroine,
in the still of her own life–
Christ, how far to go?
