bizarre

i had a dream my boyfriend was a dark-haired boy named daniel who had a pet meerkat and performed illegal cosmetic surgery on red-headed twins.

saying goodbye


the house swells
with new orleans
humidity
and old passion
as i pack each box carefully,
and place them
outside.

ode to the swinger

you are more complicated than a thousand piece puzzle, more perplexing than vegan cheese, and, strangely, more intriguing than a 3AM infomercial...

tell me more about your adventures while i curl my body up beside you. (you just like to be held, you said. i haven't had a night like this in years.)


enjoy baton rouge, playboy, and call me sometime.

his body


A glass of wine
with you
over cheese and
pommes frites at
a place filled
with “such an uptown crowd”
as you put it
was like a
flirting manual out of
some awful women’s magazine
dripping with subscription cards.
She:
Open, towards him
Head tilted
Legs crossed
Leaning in, laughing, touching,
Brushing his knee
He:
Leans back,
Open, strong
Looking right at her
Watching her hand
As it brushes his
Knee
We walked outside to your bicycle
and you hugged me so tight
I kissed your rough cheek and said
‘I’ll call you’
You pulled me close again
And said.... “promise?”
And when you touch me my whole body tingles with anticipation
But I watch as you head back downtown instead of to my bed.....
I like you too much to sleep with you.
