Us

First published on 11 April 2019, a collaboration with Mike Ennenbach

 

let’s shuffle the playlist
Eat kale chips and eggplant wedge dipped in chilly jam

Let’s waltz away in our fave band T-shirts
misted in aromatic oil

Let’s pillow fight and giggle
till our tummy muscles grow

Chase each other
Until we fall in a pile
Laughing on the floor
Cheeks sore from smiling

The thunder of our hearts
Drowns out the music
Gazing lovingly at each other
Until you tickle me some more

Let’s pull down the blinds
Dim the world outside

Let our love twinkle
Stardust falling on us
Echoing the illumination within us

Let us My Love
Let us create the most glorious night sky
All in this place we call
Home

Let’s close the door
And embrace
My love
Shut the world out
And fall into
Our sanctuary in
Everlasting bliss

Yes
Let’s close the door
And embrace
My darling
Falling into
Our sanctuary in
Love forever more

 

Gangster and spy

A collaboration with Mike Ennenbach

hardly your everyday couple
the gangster and the spy
violent outlook hides
the teddy bear innocence
sweet aura concedes
a sinister cold heart

the rain fell dirty water from dirty clouds
landed with disinterest on his bald head
as he watched her slide into
the oversized chair with sinuous grace

the retold story of
beauty and the beast
in reverse
the modern Vito and Olga
sipping coffee latte
in the middle of a land
once flowing with milk and honey
cowboys, cattle and cotton farms
