I Hate Marie Antoinette

The Seine around her neck and all
Its cavalier beauty
Crawling down her breast
In tortuous crystalline unity

I hate Marie Antoinette
For if she trips upon her lacey skirt
A head she merely loses,
The boys dans masque remain to flirt, and
Elegance never refuses


Null and Void

Prudence claimed his magic pen
Could save the human ‘kind’
By writing when
You had a thought a twirled it in twine

Ivory letters to be ebonied with truth
For the sweetest syllables to woo and forsooth
But no one sold you at the seal
The pen, its magic; you made no deal

As now I string my papers in a stack
I sure wish I could have my money back

Sweeter Than Any Wine

No, I'm not doing a thing tonight
She uttered to her red dress
Carelessly caressing the wind

The man in the pinstripe suit twisted
Her brown curl with a sly smirk
Then walking down the hill glanced one last time
At the 'v' fold of her skirt
And those chubby knees scarred
By worn nylons

After the dusk hues had mellowed to black
Twice over and brought up a new morn
The young woman lay upon the same checkered quilt
Innocently crushing the green twigs and wondering
If virginity would ever again wander her same path


Marriage and Her Lover

Who is Law to say what we are?
Her young eyes quoted in his embrace

Indeed, my dear

We are God

About Falling In Love Without You

In a balloon I float past the courier 
On a tall sand dune he stretches and blows 
The writ of a sealed letter 
Your dry mouth stamped like the night we eloped
No rings attached but
Two cats on a fence one jumping down
And I'm carried helpless by your amused coughing
Because I always refused to have 'love'
In any title
