Blue Rock, LXXII
I rely on misleading statements.
You are the Garden State Parkway.
I have come to regret my decision
from which locale? You introduced
prolonged times of celibacy in a tearful
morning phone call to Brooklyn. I am
a painful contortion trusting words
you so convincingly uttered, Art Nouveau
meets American Comix. I am the debris
of our civil war. You are its lazy
reptilian torpor. I so much wanted
to hear your three-part radio broadcast.
Blue Rock, LXXIII
Please don't harbor my Rapunzel
in her wasp flight. You'll notice
curious warts on the leaves. Please
don't shock me into recognizing
affairs I could have had while
still married. Please don't reject
my desire as too itchy. Animal
bones (even cow skulls) served
her Georgia O'Keeffe period. Please
don't act so prophetic. I know nothing
of starry matters. Please don't let
the sex between us die. We vowed
we'd never resemble our parents.
Please tell me you're sorry.
