Be Kind To This December Ant

 

Be kind to this December ant

Finding its way on

My MacBook keyboard

This stranger

Will soon be familiar with

All my fingerprints stamped

On the black keys

Unlocking the epic research

On relationship science

Seeping onto my Notes app

And each love poem

Typed out for you

 

 

A Kiss Without A Kneeling Heart

 

Your coast of indifference

Answers the kiss

Without a kneeling heart

A nice puff of doubt

Outgrown oxygen in the east

How can I promise roses without thorns

And feel the heat from a plastic cigarette

 

Scars of ash

Take care of the venus in my veins

Time presents another prisoner

Remorses the bankrupted water

Once moved thousands of stones

To build the oldest pyramid

 

Above the flowers of Shangri-La

With all my waves undressing you

We used to be an ocean

The earthquake never found

The uniforms never burned
