I am Jack's colon . . .
Yeah, I get cancer. I kill Jack.
I am Jack's raging bile duct . . .
I am Jack's cold sweat . . .
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise . . .
I am Jack's smirking revenge . . .
I am Jack's wasted life . . .
I am Jack's inflamed sense of rejection . . .
I am Jack's broken heart . . .
I wash your ankles
with my tears. Unhem
my sweep of hair
and burnish the arch
of your foot.
Still your voice cracks
above me.
I cut off my hair and toss it across your pillow.
A dark towel
like the one after sex.
I'm walking out,
my face a dustpan,
my body stiff as a new broom.
I will drive boys
to smash empty bottles on their brows.
I will pull them right out of their skins.
It is the old way that girls
get even with their fathers --
by wrecking their bodies on other men
..... Louise Erdrich
I like...that I own far too many clothes, getting serenaded, Long hair on boys,Day of the Dead catrinas, liquor filled chocolates, my slide on Doc Martens, my Amelia Fluevogs, christmas lights, boys who sit with there legs crossed, my favorite vintage coat, knee boots, sexual tension, photo booths, the innocence of a child, grilled orange slices, hot baths, candlelit rooms, Austin Tx, peacocks and pralines, victorian mourning jewelry, being beckoned back to bed, physical flaws and imperfections, handwritten letters, Sincere gestures, winks or kisses from afar, cooking dinner for friends, egyptian musk, the smell of vintage stores, sideshows, anomalies, surrealism, late night talks in diners, tattoos,
accents, green tea, pistachio ice cream, the color red, mood lighting, danny elfman christmas's, late nite movies, keeping a secret, finding a treasure, making stained glass, collecting fossils, watching films in bed, growing things, fresh flowers in every room, vine covered porches, when it raining, the smell of freshly mown grass, Amsterdam, kissing, art, photography, eyes that meet in a crowded room, parasols, clowns w/parasols, women who dress like Jackie O, retro sunglasses, old vintage convertibles, walking on the beach at 4am, when I'm driving in my car and the road stretches out and it just gets longer and longer, hugging an old friend I haven't seen in years.....those last two are probably my favorites. Oh so many things and not enough time to list them.

Yes, I have always desired to kiss the laughter I have seen on happy lips, to drink the blood of blushing cheeks, to put my teeth into the flesh of fruit of every branch that dangles before me I have boldly laid my hands where I wished, and believed that I had a right to every object of my desires. (And besides, what we want is not so much possession, but love.)
Satisfaction. I seek you. You are as beautiful as summer dawns.
I no longer believe in sin.
