Hello my brother
I see you sitting there
Poking fun at my failures
“On a bare branch a crow is perched”

A portrait is a flat mechanism.
In suit and tie or dress, some stooped
at the base of couches dragged into frame
and then left there, staring forward.
It does not matter who, the people in portraits belong
to the immaculate house of the past
where no one has ever lived
and the furniture is simple wood
propped up by a dowel or a sheaf of papers,
solid oak wrapped tight with gossamer thin cloth.
Even this is untrue, for the ones who know
about gossamer are now dead, stock set

This emotion flies
An eagle soaring high
Up the cerebr’l thermal
Ebb ‘n Flow
Heart beat’n prime
As the race that began time
Your hand locked so perfectly with mine
Running tow’rd the sunset

From the dawn into the sun
Blood upon the sky
A beautiful bloodthirsty butterfly
Slash with fract’l wings
Through the triv’l things

While he is tot’lly hers
So even as life starts to blur
And the focus starting to fade
It brings life back into shade
Slipping through that purple haze
Fantastic!

sea foam regrets
wash this lacerated heart
with saline baptisms
of undying love
(and etch their
wretched revelations
on mausoleum walls).
your ancient ruins
still stand undefeated
by impudent waves
(like overexposed
polaroids showcased in
empty exhibitions).
and it's futile
exorcising
my heart of
your remnants
(because all
graveyards need
ghosts to
haunt them).
