poem: leaves on tongue, effective tea

leaves on tongue, effective tea
taste and texture all at once
jasmine colour, summer heat
matching up most beautifully
practice pathos, sitting there,
I’m not going anywhere

poem: lush and verdant garden run

lush and verdant garden run
riot with roots
surging through their soil
seeking you

poem: spice not nice enough

spice not nice enough
for thrice the visits
seeking Thai on rice

poem: novelistic feeling

novelistic feeling
from the flashing lights and noise
dragged across the rocks
of shriveled
goals and hopes and joys

poem: call it a greeting

call it a greeting
projecting my feelings
onto a cat with
emotions unknown
sitting there bored
while I work hard
from home

poem: cough in your fist

cough in your fist
and send me home, pissed
not a big drinker
well, not until this
bottom, meet barrel
now work down the list
