The Fourth Dynasty lingers
I am starting to fear that Hathor is a distant relative of mine
but this is the nineties and
The Bayonne Beauties ruled by the pool.
Taking long drags off their Virginia Slims
dripping knowledge from their tongues
soaking-up as much of that dying sun the sky would allow.
They always seemed to have glamor surrounding them
even in ninety degree humidity
those ladies always left me drowning in modesty.
One of the goddesses looked up at me from under her sun hat
the Cupid’s bow of her lip was inverted when she said:
“Doomed you are sweetheart, it’s true….”
Then took her perfectly painted, acrylic-infused fingernails
brushed the hair from my face and told me to own it.
In-return,
I ran from it,
unworthy of the menat,
until the eve of my twenty-forth birthday.
The Mother Land
As we saltarello through the realms holding hands
I love you in the sort-of-way
people don’t love each other.
It is too advanced for flesh,
beyond bone.
Such a bond doesn’t believe in time;
we are endless and of no origin.
We kiss and lilac trees are born.
It’s quite clear we left our egos on the floor.
I look into the eyes you currently own;
they always save me a dance with your soul.
When all of our karmic debt is purged,
The two of us will fuse back together and return to the ultimate.
“Humans originally were combined of four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces, but Zeus feared their power and split them all in half, condemning them to spending their lives searching searching for the other half to complete them.”

Since you are inquiring
If you were here right now
I’d let my most powerful uppercut explode in your face
and as you wallow in pain and bloody gums
I’ll pay you no mind as I
collect each of your disarranged teeth
to finally lay the seed for my garden
where none of butterflies go and
all the flowers reek of manipulation.
Then I’ll bask in my newly planted solitude.
A .7 acre oasis
New Fashioned
On the contrary
Molten hot coffee
a fourteen hour shift.
Having money in your pocket
spending it mostly on drinks.
Freshly brushed teeth
cigarette butts.
Rollerblading
on shitty streets.
All your crude and educated humor
Realizing just your friends get it.
Chewing gum
gnawing both lips raw.
Family by choice
not bound by roots of a half-dead tree.
Saturday night
Sunday evening.
Love letters
death threats.
Daughters
born to cheating men.
Knots
kite tails; stability for proper flight.
