Poems:

EYE LOOK

You look
He looks
We look
Ye look
They look

What I see is less
Important than time
To close your eyes
It's too close to your
Face to recognize

Me from mimesis
You form euphemism
Him from hymen
Oui from yes
Ye from yestere'en
Them from us

THE WAY I'M IN

Is near half a gaze
When you're there
Glimpse of snow
Bowl forecast

List fronds list
For a thirsty then
Teach them how to ask
Where touch begins
To surprise you

I'm not stumped
Purveyor of Lysol
Keen arrows ahead
For the headless
Lies solve for truth

Abscond us
From a picture
That is still
A film moving
Across the whites
Of your eyes
Since cinema's
Sister sense is in
No sense innocent
