Baltimore, May 2026

Sunday

The sphinx riddled

Sphere didn’t idle, it bloomed

And now doom is upon a womb

That is but a plume of smoke

Plunge into a water

Poke about in the sound

Haunted fluid around

She who is bound for home

The dome around a flower

Nothing is sour about

The power of this

Knowing that the fix is here.

Steer in the direction of

A perfection, management

Of savage arrogant negligent means.

The end was a fiend and now he’s clear.

Fist unclenched in a silence

The bliss of release

From the violent urge

To twist a doorknob.

Flow and lob a softball.

Crawl into the maw of the lamb.

Cram some breath,

Slabs are bereft and ready to lean.

Steady and true,

The blue on my wrist

Serves reminders—

Commit to nothing

That creates blinders to its cause.

The laws of nature…

Let’s feature her in the

Missing spot.

Make a lot of mess

To decorate the beast we fought.

Partnership

There is a gentle self knowledge demanding to exist silently

This perfection that is your body and mine

We fought to make it exist

This place where we found that which is inane and non-toxic

And chose to love each other in space

A resting place of mutual respect

Our broken egos bound in tape

Reactions that are grounded in bedrock

Where we dance like we mean it

Bound by blood and obligation.
