Door to door


 

 

 

 

I like to be in company of women
Female voices


I'm struck how women and many FINT
(female, intersex, nonbinary, and trans) talk to each other.
How they have underlying understanding of unspoken truths
and speak of them
then act accordingly.


Mark conversational buzz with questions animated exchanges is resonant.

untitled pillows

 

Dawn disclosed it –

Light from an honest butter sky

Reveling in a freelance body next to me,

With our fragrant attraction

As dried up

As an Atacamian kiss.

 

I put in me

Sweet, sweet whiskey

Sweet scorned man.

And sweet reprieve of street swept skies

We had clinked our glasses several times

In mome...

sheltered soul

A sheltered soul is not soulful.

He’s hidden with worry and exhaustion.

Because the thought of pursuing is tiring,

Is damning,

Is embarrassing.

In a space that is too wide
