an encased rose sits between marbled thighs

 

 

stars self start stare stares. self to stars self not.

linger linger let it no no no no not let stars fold.

event eventual lingering remnants self inventing.

 

create new self inside self. stars inside self. start.

beginning with begin with self in farthest away.

home far. far stars far far far no no no still silence.

 

silence cold wait wait long self long no time cold.

rings capture self capture create picture galaxy self.

fire ring fire self self twist self into the create start.

 

yes yes yes this this begin twist fire stars new this.

many many fires all twist turn this turning new self.

this self swirling beginning before new yes new home.

 

far far go yes go self this new home self this self here.

new this yes swirl fire turn twist caught light here self.

home home yes new self stars inside home self safe.

Smitty was a cheater!

From the cat-eye minute

he clunked my cleary with

the flick of his fat thumb..

I knew I hated him.

 

PROOF? 

 

See.... he had the blow hard

of  a swimmer, which I think
he used to cause that collision.

How else could you explain

air born dust without wind?

 

Only Luke saw me left crying

with my tears making craters in

the dirt. Smitty never looked back

he just walked off.

                      moving his hips

        to the sound

                      of my marbles

       in his pocket.
