a pile of mostly raw and probably bad poetry
on the internet
in the hopes of creating something better
This blog is not CLEAN and is not meant to be.
Useful critique appreciated, i.e. specific comments and suggestions.
You need not identify yourself unless you want to;
comments will be judged on value, not the source. (Although knowing the source can be useful.)
Unsupported heckling OR praise are not appreciated.
Also, I vaguely apologize if you're my friend and you see yourself or others we know here.
I am aware that that can be unsettling
but that's the risk you run being friends with a writer. Also,
maybe you're just being paranoid. Also,
there is never a clear picture of reality
humans imagine lovers
like food: taken
into our bodies
we could know
every molecular strain,
put the nutrients in
our muscles, the fat
on our thighs, but
there is too much
of you to feed continents! you are
a planet of resources
and indigenous peoples,
books on the culture
of your brain and biology
could fill libraries,
could fill my brain
and still overflow the shores
of my countries like a
high tide or tsunami-- there is
no way, even if I ate the moon
that I could consume
the depth of you.
sometimes we talk about
what it would be like
if I came to orgasm
I think it might be
like being God
like looking into
the Time Vortex,
like kissing you
is like kissing
a man who is more than
human, like wielding
ultimate power
