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
