James McLain Poems

Feet stay the same
annoyingly
unpainted some
say
...

It is dark unlit
we stop
hungry
the menu is
...

Feathers hand is shrouded
plumaged cleft I hold
breathtakingly so.
Tense to spring unwinding
...

I am helpless in your hand,
honey in a mouth that knows only love.
I shake so when touched by
the air that passes by me when in it's
...

The dreams you are
come more frequently
cinnamon is color
sequin is dressed.
...

It is the worst
when the heat
is as hot
as you.
...

Every one knew
especially you
notes
i kept hidden
...

How many nights
I spend in shcool
just so she can be
proud of me..
...

Ashamed of you
not an ant
one single ant
made it safe
...
