Finally

One of my new years resolutions, is to centralize the work I have on the web. Being generally mistrustful and uneducated in the finer points of the internet, I've decided that this is the easiest way. So I start off the new blog with the 2007 New Year's Day poem, "Surfacing"

surface
from dreamless sleep
on the air matress
in the corner of the one room
flat

turn naked eyes to me

the sky outside the window
is glass, grey and dust
impossible to tell dawn from dusk

and I don't care

I've been wrapped
in lips and limbs
lauging patchwork
and strange chemicals
for days

These walls are the perimeter
when you are here
and I am here

with the television flashing
and the roomates pretending at sleep
ten feet away

skin, sinew and bone
ease open like
snake jaw under the silk trace
of your hair on my thigh

you press into me
I press into you

you reach into me
I reach into you

this is the suspended moment
between leap
and land

the city outside the window
is glass, dust and grey
impossible to tell yesterday from today

and I don't care

I've been rapt
by lips and limbs
laughing patchwork
and strange chemicals
for days

These walls are the perimeter
when you are here
and I am here

surface
from dreamless sleep
on the air matress in the corner
of the worn out one room
flat

turn naked eyes to you
