in the best
tradition.
Here, where the
mattress is soft
and damp;
we are bound
by wire and anger:
we are one again.

ice storm and horror movies

how hope of youth is our torment
all is possible and nothing is as real as it feels
the illusion and persistence of dreams
did I sleep to wake 20 years hence
still thinking tomorrow I will sit exams
anxious briefly as if time were a rubber band
no more the rule and curve
of outstretched hands
before we could afford tattoos
dying our hair with fragments
only the gentle footfall of sex and orange…
