got that space between
where the words dance
have not visited her
in a while
but the indent's still there
in the foam where she
laid
before

accepting september

the right side rib of the ribcage
was where the voodoo entertained
she felt the entry at the cusp of nightpull
bones away from past lives
spacing mortal

ah she said
you've come

she let him in
pulled his hair into a tailshrug
night was a warm one
the path would be
an easy one now

he'd taken
what he wanted
and dark didn't hurt
just coated
the separation
skin shed
molten fall wind
where the orange responder
pushed the tattooed paw 

while the youth left the building
without a whisper

not a word

ate enough peaches today to grow taller

eternal z?

hey z, i read in the sunshine news that you had been born into the eternal life. is this true?

the outside

she had a remarkably compact emotional range
and an orange cat
he had a breakfast personality
and never turned
on a dime
away
the corner
the other cheek
back old man
a trick
and ran
oh yes he did he did he did
he turned and ran

but she still had a glove box 
where she kept the crumple tissue
and mapped out rivulet gully puddle wash

clean
slate
rain
date
reign
date

get
out

get
out
