We are new and naked, a house open to the world, and
I do not think the novelty of it will ever wear off—this is
Christmas Eve, all the beauty of almost bright like glass.
The air is redolent of last month's failures. Unlock the door,
Let the fresh year in. I will play a song to the cold and
Submerse myself in louche fantasies, heart drumming
veins wondering.
Do you-do you realize what you are holding in your arms? Answer
Is: someone who does not understand the concept of limitations,
Flighty as a migrating bird, face shaped like a mistake.
Truth be told I care nothing about honesty or being
Honorable, just could not bear to see rejection
Ribboning from your pretty mouth. My dear,
Hold me as a corset does a woman's torso.
Say you'll love a liar.

How do you read
a spiritual poem?
Listen for the silences
that resonate within the lines,
between the poet's words,
that set up sympathetic
vibrations in the secret depths
of the mind.
That which you might discover
lies beyond the amplitude of speech.

jamais
the truth, as staunch and without ornament
as I can make it,
is that I did not want your love,
your voice rattling like the hoary whispers
of stars;
your dreams (rustling like cattails
and half-extended to meet mine)
were as foreign to me
as moonlight, concealed
in its various robes.
your sucking fireflies,
neon mothish words meant to draw me in,
flurried uselessly about me.
but now that your attempted eloquence
is more akin to the wick of a lamp,
charred and drowning in oil,
I may vaguely nod my head.

I'll tell the truth:
I am a thief of the
worst persuasion.
if you want honesty,
I don't think that we will
last.
give it one or two
or three years
years tense with opposing forces
and unusual magic
and our reaction will be
complete. we will both
go back to our own kinds.
haven't they always defined love
in terms of chemistry?
(opposites attract,
but like dissolves like.)
and here is the confession:
here is why I am odious:
I know this and
I will not withdraw.
here is the electron bridgehere the
anode, cathode, the ill-fated
reactants.
I set this up like dominos;
