Honolulu

It’s weeping
over
Diamond Head
today bathing
the ogre
in green
charcoal
clouds
hang
like bad
rumors
over the giant
Waikiki
stands creamy
next door
and still
dry
ocean blue
circumvents
the island
this place
is an island
of mystery

Alex

He has
eyes
the size
of compacts
and the color
of clover

I watched
him undress
last night
peeling his
shirt exposing
a flat stomach
pulling down
his briefs
exposing
strong concave
buttocks

but it’s
his smile
that arouses
me

 

Later

It’s late

but I’m
not tired

I have
someone
coming over
later

a promise
he made
to have me
feel better

I’m nervous
because no
man
has been able
to scratch
the itch
I have
inside

this burrowing
burning need
deep in my
belly
hurts
like a hot
match

is he
my
extinguisher

Juan

I fell
in love
today

again today

with Juan

his brown
eyes
set between
pecan shaped
lids

his smile is
broad and
warm
and reminds
me of how
I kissed him

So many
memories
fly by like
Canadian Geese

I reach out
to grab them
but Juan’s
thousands
of miles
away

Tropical Storm (for David)

We sat
next to
each other
brushing
legs together
David’s slighter
than I
wearing
skinny jeans
a white t-shirt
and rain jacket
sharing
cigarettes
the rain
wetting
the tips
ember
