Cheeky is my smoochy cat
She gets stroked every day
And as for cousin’s moonlit
Cheek tis but beg the question
...
I reckon tonight I wholed all the tears in Australia
No wonder there’s a drought somewhere
for the salt seeped through every river, each creek
and into my head desalination has spread
...
Be my centrifuge in my vertiginous dream
Be as jaguar, wolf, and chimpanzee
Fill my mist, tickle my tease
...
Today….
I made an anklet of kowhai
Yellows blooms of sigh..
I thought of your toesies
...
Why is it, you
as an amorous lover
are at odds as an amorphous spirit?
...
I scent a message floated to shore…
found papaya and sugar cane stuck to
my door. I opened it up molasses entrapped
.. so after deep tissue massage I scent this back…
...
.. and if it is inevitable
that I have you
never
Tis not for need of trying
...
Across the sea there swells a man
with pots and pans and billy cans
in arid country with cactus pricks
he kneads the damper, burns the sticks
...
On top … drops off
To roll … pulp passion
firmly against designer curves
...
