day of release
still
the holy mother
tattoo
weeps
*
in the closest
behind
the everyday
his father’s
pornography
*
on common ground
a shortcut through bluebell wood
the path of desire
every 3rd saturday
of the month
*
social climber
balancing
her act
across
the stairwell
*
a wasp
hard pressed
on one side
of the glass
or other
*
in the quiet zone
buddha nature interrupted
as echo indulges
her narcissus with one last
photo opportunity
