the tin can

RED DRESS
red dress.
whirls me around,
stares me down.

coquette smile.
do you remember...
my name...?

because i don't.
remembers yours.

another time,
another life,
another me.

you were there...
and you...

and you, and you...

all faces
with no names.
but we had some
good times, didn't we?


UNTITLED #1
duct tape
tambourine

hypnotically
melancholic

things i
never knew

about
you

making banjos
and finding yourself

striking
chords

bleeding
notes


UNTITLED#2
well you sure got my attention...

put those boots to work.
sling yourself over that guitar...

and willow-weep me a story,

honey-dripped
and silver-tipped.

full of that stuff
that jump-starts the heart,

and buckles the will.

draw the duende
out of it's slumber

and tear through
the thousand veils i'm lost in...
