Household Songs: IV

Posted on 2015-08-27 by sundryfolly

A chubby, bronzed thumb plucks
needless tears from
a flushed face, discarding them quickly onto
the ground.

Commanded to supper, he gallops
past muted white
bells as April’s fleeting sweetness runs down
his chin.

Household Songs: XXX

Posted on 2015-08-12 by sundryfolly

Tongues of the beloved hunger
for delusive miracles
from a holy intersection of mahogany and
lacerated resin.

His presence in the doorway,
like a petticoat
parted by a wanton wind, flutters nigh
sallow feet.

Household Songs: I

Posted on 2015-08-04 by sundryfolly

A silk blouse torn from
convulsing, sunburnt hands
falls to the floor in a torrent
of dysphoria.

Weep not for the bodies
who float over
floorboards like docile dust balls going to
their graves.
