8.20.99, midnite

And          then there was
          confession          but
it didn't solve the
          problem

which is
          sexual appetite
am I emitting          some
sort of vibe or fume?
          
          I think he was flattered
but simply countered with:
                    it happens

Not leading me anywhere
I am striking out all over
my ego is about to          crash
                              itself
I am extinguished
what to do with all of this
supply and demand has
never been an issue
where the heart and head
          bridge          there's the
                    tissue
why won't anyone come out
                              to play?

Damaged goods
          in the dream           I
drove him literally
by car from apartment
to apartment
          bland daily things

*          *          *

I pulled him down to me
          patted his stomach          he
rode away on my red bike
he joked to cover his
          sadness - of life
                    passing by
I thought           hold me I'll
          make it better
                    
          such old-school psychology

He'll bring me a book on
          infinite games
          the ritual of surprise

*          *          *

                    want me          they do
perhaps in books
but not during the night
and not to hold my
          heart
not breathe into each others
                                        mouths
silence of sigh
hand holding back
skin exposed to air
          to more flesh
to calling my name in
the dark


noon

not for keeps
not for now
not for deep eyes
not for                    this
                              weekend
not for                    owl
                              interest
not for full body
          legs knees hips
          fingers chin lips
not for musicality
          tune of voice
          lingering thought
          attached to dream
not for ever
          nor yet
dividing space
          lived-in
not for keeping in touch
drift          phone          ring
subtle reminders
          beats of pulse
not for page to story
          nor inside
                    direction
time travel
          location rental
                    contract
not for children
          or family
ancestors           predecessors
          tree-lined streets
fences or walls
          ingredients
not for          the sea
          disappearance           sand
thought    like jellyfish
not for the dolphin
          or any species
          that chooses
                    limited partnership
over its own
                                        freedom
