Laurence's SpringThe nightLaurence's Spring
rendered open its belly, pouring all it had
upon the streets below, a vertical tidal wave
gnashing its grief,
bellowing in dismay, it watched helpless, blinded by the flash of headlights bouncing
off the wet asphalt, flipping and spinning,
illuminating the bridge and warped droplets in the turbulent air... ... ...
an agonizing silence
before contact... ... ...
we'll wake up in the morning
and realize
it was all a dream, won't we? the distant wail of sirens... ... ...


Songsong of earth flows in my veins tributariesSong
grounded within
her womb, reborn
each sunrise
song of daybreak a crescendo,
mating with the sun
nerves aflame, solar arc travels down my spine
song of sky- currents of birds on up-drafted clouds
shadows float caressing my body's landscape
song of midnight, a deep thrum of sensual umber
bathes the eyes, becoming the
color of my hair
song of my smile- tender entreaty for my lover &nb


Eclipsemoon guides meEclipse
on its voyage, night wind goes deep, insinuating bones
fingers as white, tonguing the marrow of me- I can't shiver the
chill from my soul
as intense as everything I feel while there's life, who could
sustain it
a sadness adrift, where it takes me I don't know, I don't wonder
too numb to feel the course moon steers- eyes soft focus, total eclipse

Unanticipated, as I showered today, I watched long black strands of your hair coil like water snakes toward the drain, whipping their muscular way toward the sewer, slipping through the surge, singing silent songs of entropy as they left me to cry over the scent of your shampoo and the pitted razor blades that did not leave with you when death came to take you from our house and, before the kitchen felt my feet and fingers searching for routine, before the bed unmade me more than yesterday, I again &nbs

I laugh in the face of Death! ... Maybe not laugh...more like a quiet snicker. And I wouldn't do it directly in Death's face, so it's more like a quiet snicker behind Death's back.
