OUTSIDE WALLY AND LEA’S WINDOW
Noble futility
small fountain
standing in the rain
OUTSIDE WALLY AND LEA’S WINDOW
Noble futility
small fountain

VENUS UNEARTHED BY THE CHRISTIANS
At first they sermonized her some
and prayed long over her and around her
And yet she solidly refused to change
In their Christian charity
(it was more rampant then)
they decided not to destroy her
And yet
it was not a good thing for the children
to see her touching herself in that way
So the arms would have to go
A GUY THING
Narcissus stared into the water till he died
locked into the image of his pride
Trying to embrace it made it fly
teardrops spoiled it when he’d cry
No thirst would make him think
to spoil it with his lips to drink
Self love was not the nymph’s dire curse
but love of image which is much much worse
RELUCTANT SHE RISES – A VALENTINE FOR DORSEY
Reluctant she rises from morning love
The voice of a million things to do
Argues with the voice
of the perfect moment
Slowly concedes
and falls back
into a purr
