I have found you
and want to be your sky.
These petals,
so gentle to my hand,
have a sweetness
to finally understand
my power and my glory.
I’ll take you with me
to enhance my story.

And the flower s… Read full post »

It happened decades ago. That phone exchange in my parents’ kitchen.

UPPER EAST SIDE PRETENDER

It's too swanky a place
to ever be late.
I race down East 68th
to my salon of beauty.

With disdain laser cruel
from some matrons bejeweled
I slip into a chair
with my roots-exposed hair.

What's financial calamity
against habi/… Read full post »

White satin glowing
Lustrous hair, rosebud lips.
She took my breath.
Her eyes the best.
Not vacant, but purple blue
Lids thick-lashed and closeable
According to her posture.
Three feet at least
The star of all dolls
Past and future.

I can’t remember who’d blessed m… Read full post »

invited to play
