VENUS

All men wish,

Star light, star bright

First star I see tonight

We all know that it’s

Venus, and she’s a chick

Guys think with their penis

KHAKI

Steady the flow

Of green glowing

Facing

Racing

To brown

To khaki

To fine grains of sand

Passing through millions of hands

FOG

Fog like skin

Thick around a

Sad cat like a

Flea in -

(The palm at the end of the mind.

Beyond the last thought, rises…

- Wallace Stevens)

SHAVEN

Shaving whip cream

On the sink

From shaven legs, perhaps

Laying in the sink

Silky, soothing nightgown

Purple shed satin

Curling down the legs

Like caterpillars
