Witch's Hut-A Prelude

Stove tops firing Kettles filled with Love are sated.
Witch's Eyes on me, I stiffen--petrified to stone--a Gorgon.
Bodies twining--willow Tree and sapling mated
Sharing merry times with merry-making Organs.
Falling leaves and fallen Sun are falling now
Twilit branches knotting one another
Summer Cottage growing pregnant, growing heavy now;
Rubbing here and rubbing there;
Waxing greater, waxing brighter underneath the boughs;
Rubbing, rubbing everywhere.
Twisting, twining, merging into one branch, one Heart
Never, ever, never, ever falling hard apart.

Hangers

Hangers hanging coldly

On an empty rack

Clothing come and gone again

Gone again, again alone

Wondering whether I can weather

Yet another kitchen storm

Crashing through another

Hopeless fucking life

Empty streets are filled with couples

Cooing love-struck sighs

Inside my skull they echo

Endlessly

Screaming echoes in the wordless bar

Animalistic wretching

In the midst of rutting

One another over, under-over

Hearing them is worse than

Seeing them

Cannot unsee the visions

I have seen--

-Happy tear-streaked lines

-Covering a well-loved face

-As another’s hand creeps

-Down the hair, the neck, the sighs, the lies

Here I am

Endless refrain

Choking back the falling

Of one more wasted time

Another wasted sigh

Trochee experimentation

Blessing

Pulsing

Digging

Rutting

Fighting

Kissing

Hugging

Holding

Loving

Peace
