three love poems
~*~
lots of good things start with p
if you are confused
ask questions
jesus in jerusalem
or new jersey
i’m sorry
i hate cats
kiniku means muscle
but niku means meat
(please don’t tell anyone
but i could be barefoot
and pregnant
and happy
if i had good books)
mars and the moon in conjunction
before you go to sleep
i’ll tuck you in
~*~
you are like the word i used to know
mystery
of scribble
my tomorrow has two
mm’s
f l o a t i n g
o
w r s
d
want to come back
cupboard is cup board
feeling of sun
on your back
no
word
be careful hashi is chopsticks and bridge
first words
on waking
are
~*~
the letter y has become a ghost
tell me
a story
backwards
words
with holes
push out
pull in
scars are
memory
poems
want to
stop
you are
still here
something
in motion
whispering
metaphors
rewrite again
