I am in my overture!
People
Please
Fill up from the nozzle
Soon I will be more than you can handle
Have you ever fucked
someone with so many tricks
in their saddle sack
I refuse to be fingered
By the fiddle spangled flock
All this talk about sand
About climate change
About acclimation
Atization
It’s only falling through
Because your hands are inept
I have great passion for the huntress
One more time
I have great passion for the huntress
Now but can you fit it down to the flag
Without skewing the logo
Margaret Mary Ray,
I have great passion

Jeanne Mance at the Ankle
You and your
Denim and yellow
Against the park
Fade in and fade out
Contrary to the forecast
A woman rides by
Her tire
Catches my foot
At the ankle
And clips off my Air Force 1
In the gurney I say,
Is it true that my friend’s
Beautiful bodies will get old
Some of them
Are not even my friends

Burn Inside or Dive out the Window
Regina Lasko,
Regina Lasko!
I felt the small soft omega
In my palm
a golden egg with
a barcode made of braille
Line line line thick line
Hair on the pelvis
matte with yolk
Dropped 12 stories out of a window
The cock’s cuckoo coming in
The cuck--
cucking of faulty machinery
Victory
thy name is
Henry Flower!

Follicle
I’m arranging my bottles in small heavy duty ziploc bags
Fibreplex, Kevin Murphy, Like spit or cum
A leave-in scented "Hawaii" for my platinum
It’s old--
6 months to a year, a gradient
like the paint brushes in my mother’s back shed
Last summer, painting and repainting the kitchen
Where she’s moved the chaise lounge
Eating mashed chicken in applesauce.
In my father’s smoking room
there are holes poked through photos
of my mother and she leaves them up
Like pushpins on a map
of the 401
My cousins laugh about his driving
We get together and pick bones out of spring salmon
I’m restricting again
On the west coast, with the photos in my bag
My mother’s surgeon says she doesn’t have enough body fat
for reconstructive surgery with her mastectomy
But after 6 months to a year
an implant is optional
Her new boyfriend the produce manager
washes her wigs in the kitchen sink
With shampoo? I say
Spiking myself on a rock on the shore in Nanaimo
Sorry, she says, Are you roaming?
This is expensive.
