1. MORAITIS ESTATE MALAGOUSIA

wandering the old vineyard a wolf in the springtime sun, sedated by basil, dazzled by light.

in the scummy tenderloin, when your night is ending and mine's just beginning, you press the thin white stick to your pursed lips. red glass orbs alive, tea light flickering across your bare shoulders, you gaze into the eyes of a man w love ignorant of city and country, dystopia and arcadia, this bliss or that. you see me but i’m a universe away.

GEELRIADNRE CM 4 ELISE

SEA LION PARTICLES

sitting at the ocean with my friend under the purple blue sky and the white moon fading alongside the most famous golden gate, watching the birds to and fro and the slightly decomposed creature bathing in gigantic dollops of cappuccino froth, my butt against the damp rock, i imagine that last night’s rain could erode the whole cliffside, wonder where all the time goes, wonder where it’ll all go.

DOORS ARE OPENING

doors are opening but i’m just sitting, staring out a window at the bleary reflections of red and yellow ghosts.

LAST NIGHT I DREAMED

last night i dreamed i couldn’t write a poem but then i woke up, bathed and dressed in wet slate shadows, and went for a walk in the early golden light.

MOLASSES BOOKS

all the beautiful people the cool NY people the melting pot personified the poets in the bookshop sipping freshly brewed black coffee cracking tall cans of Miller milling about in quiet anticipation to hear lines lifted from online chats to hear lines about, dogs, death, and moms to hear with straining ears thru choking heat they drift outside for brief respite the sky colored city orange in september haze they drift inside to hear another young woman in her large love red blazer high above the crowd like someone emboldened by a secret everyone in love she bequeathed the stage to the final reader our hostess dressed plainly radiating bolder only the sheets of paper in her hands have nerves she reads three poems, the last a question: “will you marry me?” shock, ecstasy, he kisses her with golden hollywood passion shocked, ecstatic, a dozen balloons tangle themselves in the ceiling. outside it’s cooler sobbing has ceased gentle falling rain cool cool night everyone in love.

THE TALL BLONDE GIRL

the tall blonde girl walking down Polk from Turk in the fitted charcoal jeans and the fitted chambray shirt, effortless and lithe.
