as curious
as a kitten
we laugh at life’s
silliness his face
is as genuine as
a diamond its facets
shimmer in dim
light causing me to
squint
his body long and lithe
mounds of muscle flesh
arms like weapons
his gentleness surprises
me his crooked smile
draws me nearer
like sirens
his flank is where
my hand sits holding
onto rythym
nails draw down
his back scratching
like bear claws causing
streaks of red ink
pouty lower lip
beckons kisses

Poetry
simple
basic and
fundamental
a scarcity
of words
explaining the
Universe
what’s a poet
without words
a dry well
drought and
famine
expression
is a wink
smile laugh
a poet now
a mime
Longing
I ache for him
like Auden
and Longfellow
words
scarce
feelings
torrential
what did they
do with feelings
described beauty
describing
thoroughbreds
beauty’s these men
of Auden
and Longfellow
ache
to be free
from their
pages
