Spirit
I fill my mind with spirit waiting
Spirit taking clinging snapshots of
Pale blue & dry brushed kiss away
But not far not long there they sit
Biding their time they know spirit is
Fleeting & love's long bond
Will pull me back to you.
Wednesday
Today your name was mentioned, casually
By Joel he saw you briefly at Millie's on Sunset
Waiting
To eat at my old familiar local white tile red vinyl corned
Beef hash potatoes fried egg a bitter cup of Joe
And you.
Your name mentioned, casually and my heart plummets
Lost again in you.

The HAG:I-III
I.
Silence slips in on baited breath, frozen, vibrating.
The Hag sits on legs on groin on chest, suffocating, familiar blur of laser pink pulse,
moving so slowly, closer, talons hold breath in the
vitreous humor illuminated, illuminating motes of interlocked white chains
pulsing in time with the tumult of a thousand oceans, all ebb no flow, nebulous
titter of something(s), small, calculating so close you can smell how clean how
void of feeling.
