Michelle Franklin inspired me to write an ode to board games.
Flightless Force
the flightless force of dice
dissolving into avenues
between wrenched ankles
seems worth a broken heart.

Flightless Force
Faint Dreams
I felt your breath
Overwhelming the horizon
Like a myth becoming real.
Faint dreams of fire and
The sword.

Radiance
I haven’t written very many love poems lately. I used to write a fair amount, but for whatever reason I stopped. Tonight, I thought I’d give them another try.
****
the scent of linen
and a confidante are
cures for superannuated
hearts – and she is more
than radiant.

A Low Growl
Lovers often break your heart and
Life is stitched together from the
Threads of them like patchwork misery
Unraveling some deep desire.
