shed extra skin,
swept the
scales
into pyre and
sparked it
with
flick of my
tongue,
then dashed
bare and
shivering towards
tightest crack
of home’s
foundation..
and slithered in.

it’s my fortune
to seize or
refuse,
i’ll make peace with
time and bend
the tree of
life’s
bough to favor
my tongue
flicking
hopelessly for
heartless
fun.

not a crumb of
cake will go
to waste
with the savor
of love still
gracing
my plate,
but i do sample bites
of pie as a shift
in pace..
of course there’s
something
temping
about the apple
offered with a
rosy face.

meet me at the
corner of
storm cloud and
Crenchaw,
flaring your
umbrella,
and i’ll appear in
ramshackle
gondola,
please board dry but
prepare for a
damp
ride..
it’s
expected,
i’ll see you reach
the quiet
side..
of this bloody
knuckles
mecca.

she flexed her tail like
any shark
would,
forked tongue
seduction,
pale teal reflected
on shoreline’s
sharpest
rock,
confirming
the siren
tales
were more than
tall talk.

i’m revived less
awake these
days,
face to face with what
was invisible
before.
come another sloppy night,
of begging heaven
for a light,
then turn my head once
her flame burns
too bright,
my frigid shape
meets mirror
face..
..to face once more,
but not invisible
like before.
