I'm extremely busy, teaching an intensive summer course, plus other projects, and more.

It's a vida loca, hermit-style.



Owl


-----------------------------------------


Porn

she’s buoyant like a mermaid
shedding gowns of water.

promises that breathe deep,
paradise without fruit.

our kiss shares a one-sided mouth,
no duet, stuck

between sunray and wet dream.
illusions of slave and pixel.

i shudder together,
pretend to know

nipple, thigh and cleft,
pelvis and thrust.

but only one pulse bares
the tempest of the ache,

no blush fading gentle
on the other side.
