ON MY PATIO You drink two sweet cups of rice milk, my sex, and think you know everything and about me. But, honey, if you leave doors to your place unlocked, you better sleep with your eyes wide open. WAVES a substance, like silk, or thoughts, breath, ash, falls from light in silver nets and flowers in soft petals on the belly. equinox: the tattoo a meditation, day and night everywhere of equal length. sun and moon in the vase of the throat; the body light a jewel of salt and rain water. ocean swells this heart, this heart, skin of diamonds. |
