About Me

I'm a mystery- like those black stripes that cover up body parts on t.v., or the body parts they cover.

since everyone else is writing poems. . .

steeped and thorny on tongues
lapped from greedy hand to greedy mouth
brought on great steam ships
their billowing smoke blowing the bony ashes of their captains
whose nautical maps have turned to dust

untraceable
unreadable
altogether useless

like thorn tempered tongues
lapping greedily from a greedy hand
to a greedy mouth
