REAL MAN
We're the throw away
wives
The use em and lose em
brides
---
Like old cars
you trade us in
for new models
After putting
one hell of alot of miles
on us

One man's trash
is another's treasure

So here I sit
on the Goodwill's shelf
like the Velveteen Rabbit
Waiting for
---
a Real Man...

Body Parts
Loop the loop
Pull that knot
Attach my button eyes,
See me
Wink.
Smile-
Nod, my Jack in a box head
Bound to a neck of copper springs

Wave-
My floating foam hands,
Kick my Pinocchio legs
And
Dance –Dance- Dance
On
Tiny crippled plastic feet.
I am alive
Reborn!
Do you think I am beautiful?

I come face to face with my boss as my heartbeat races

But he still shook his head.
Did she not understand
The risk entailed? Once the
Fine pale surface was broken,
There was no going back.
The permanency of a foreign body
Worming its way beneath
Her flesh - this he could not
Permit. For her own good.
Though he paid no heed
To the multicoloured rings
And patterns that each faded

Dear Sigyn
Dear Sigyn,
you fool.
We both know he doesn’t love you.
Catching the venom meant for his eye,
silent even though he should cry
out in fury at your meddling.
Dear Sigyn,
you fool.
Even the serpent laughs at you.
I’d think your body was through
even if your heart was still into
an idiot’s errand that no one would rue.
Dear Sigyn,
you fool.
The end ...
