Saltimbanque

She is under the canvass canopy
big top spotlit starlet she
disco ball dew bed sequined
spinning water for wearing

rays of rental borrowed beaming
rays of rental liberate lending

She, Promethean Princess
my souvenir showgirl

Slinky shining offering
lioness princess limber lining
She maneuvers mirror ball bouncing
balance-beam tumble tossing

juggling three-sixties
acrobat arching
form fluidic fantastic finessing

Half-Life

less than three months
and she's all-ready
already
asking me

the inconceivable
irretrievable
reduction of
eternity

half a lifetime
in the making
half a decade
consummating
a half-life
decaying

Water Closet

We are in the water closet
adjacent perpendicular mirrors
you sink ninety degrees on vertical
teeth brushing body bent axis horizontal

Mmmhhhh...
yes
oral hygiene stimulate arousal cleansing

You are bending brushing bristling
backside tattoo target inviting

I behind you lust limb salivating
stalk to sweep fine bristles beating
scrubbing swaying brushing
I sweep swayed toward for following

Your call mating instincts answer
spring pounce prey posterior
as I the deviant disciplinarian to wallop

Archer

[concrete/shaped piece- formatting not retained]

In her sights:
the core of nothing made perfect
Erogenous Eris’ golden apple crown
collecting my senses
I am drawn
to fix the unveiling
volatile inviolate

And you’re raising your knees
with painted feather-nails
calling claiming commanding
brushing my quivering quill
stroking swelling
ardor aching
- you are TAKING
me:
pushing pulling

Skycap

SKYCAP

She has her wings
hummingbird jet fuel nectar
tightrope technician
clear for departure

highest altitude aeronautic attitudes
fly-by-wire chaos manager

She the honey bee beauty
airborne ambassador emcee referee

Count-down compression
her constant companion
as the clock tick slips with
pressurization

The Dancer (Mine Muse Mime)

she is circumambulating
circumscribe spiral scribing
she is drawing me, drawing me in
calling, drawing it out from me

this poor lusting linguist with
limber arches alabaster
pillar
pleading pouting panting
teasing pleasing pirouettes

She is arousing me; unveiling inviting
awaiting my reaction
from dancer's distance
rite reciprocating

She is possessing, unveiling inviting
acrostic acrobatic adolescent arabesques
...awaiting my reaction
for her want of waiting
