On You

Oof, fat warrior!
Death’s hand is in your popcorn!
Avert your eyes! Flee!

On You

Perhaps I could live
in your backyard, if the town
will spare one cougar

My love for you five
won’t fit in a simple yurt.
Find me a good job

On You

It’s the Great Divide:
your anger. You help destroy
what you say you love

Remember the hands
that reached for you in the dark
when her small fist waves

On You

If you existed
you would wear a baseball cap
and tears in your eyes

And you would answer
the cool question I can’t ask
before I ask it

This: 143(8)
Bike lock would show us the way
to a bigger state

Before it’s too late
you’d pick up the pace. Why not?
Eternal is now

On You

Your ears flopped. Trot, trot.
You, blythe as summer, have gone
ahead. We look up

On You

Would it surprise you?
If you climbed inside this car?
You think you know me

Time for confession:
I kneel, then laugh for dear life
Your cruelty is sweet

On You

Little do they know
with each spoonful of ice cream
your marrow is theirs

On You

Desk chair spins too fast
Love is work, deadlines, choices
A string breaks. Ah, well

Safety is sexy
Delilah, Samson. Samson,
Delilah. Beauty.

On You

Sit lower. Head down.
Listen. Silence becomes you.
Your flesh becomes you.
