Wounded Libido when Travelling Light
Love slimes every surface,
thickens over time.
It's a Disney world
where everything talks.
What will be auctioned squeals in dismay
as it is carried into Kaye's truck.
My son will be back when I am gone in the dusty morning
to comb the floor and rescue charmed scraps.
But when I close my eyes at night
camped in the dissarray,
I remember all the goodbyes
I will be saying,
all the tiny hearts
that will break inside my own.
(nods to Sigmund Freud)
Human Condition
When I love you,
watching from the part of me
who never really joined the world,
I look at you cold.
Cruel thoughts feel at home
in the shadows of my tenderness.
