Ghosts of the Past (Poem #219)

Bodies line the room

eyes on you. Looking,

waiting. The ghosts of

the past waiting for you.

Blood, Bones, Sweat [poem #189]

Bloodied fingers, set small skins apart

the bones that crunch in the jaws of

the dog. I am the birds feathers, strewn

across the grass. Droplets of sweat, saliva,

and blood permeate the air.

Pumped Up [Poem #178]

 

Skin that pulls at the bones

muscle underneath ripples

with power, a pill here,

a pill there. The bones

begin to wear, the blood

begins to thin. A bulging

lump of flesh stripped of

hormones.
