Virginie Guillemette Poems

A black smattering of voodoo goo
Shell shock eyes that won’t
Let light through
You are dark as the pitch pools
...

pregnant pauses
in that silvery silence between
well, you know what I mean
a cryptic communication
...

I medicate myself with you
like buying jeweled Dollhouse shoe
like eating sugar by the spoon
or dancing naked in my room
...

i am afraid of your ghost
hiding behind smiles
and stares
hiding everywhere.
...

You are like a lover to me
always there
always sweet
What a fine and shining
...

Hard walled and
White
ON GUARD against
errant beams of light,
...

forgive me if I have sinned
me in my state
striving to win
to catch the prize
...

Defective Machines
poor, poor beings
a cogwork of cognizent chicaneries
Tic Tic Toc
...

Sweet
take a peek
white beneath
caramel spongy spreadable
...

I'm wondering why
I've got skin on my mind
fleshly fresh feelings
of the post-coital kind
...
