SIRENAS - 2005 acrylic on canvas 30" x 40"  NFS
Starlight
I've been told in my heart I'm faithless
I've been told I should just live the darkness
pluck people from clubs and bars
paint them with red paint
in lue of passion

But what I've been told is a lie
my heart echos
in the sway of night trees
my bare feet on tile
cooling
yes I have run
yes I have betrayed
but like the moon
rising differently
setting in the same corner
of the universe
I have inside me the map
that found love
and stayed there

touching nothing else
seeing only the stars
too high to reach
but you and I
no need to ever say goodbye.
TWO WOMEN-2006 acrylic on canvas 40"x 30"
Rags
I have pieced myself together
out of odds and ends
I don't know where I start
how to finish or begin

These days are empty
like sea without salt
and I am sinking heavily
not wishing I could float.
SIRENE-2005 acrylic on canvas 36x24  SOLD

Coins for a Funeral
He is a new zephyr
breathing fire upon lilies until they melt
waxed by a violence for fast paced
consideration
falling as pearls back to the seabed
invisible now, as once I was
strewn in your arms for slaughter
a silver piece in my mouth
hard to the bite, sucking on metal
worth less than me, more than life
blooming on the cusp of circular bonfires
lighting the skies with savage memory
your hands pulling me under the water
where static weeds grow lithe fingers
entering me in green vision
I let go of the borders and they blurred
like glasses crushed into diamonds
where the moon winks heavily at
transgression
and joins the circles that compound begotten
earth
where did you bury my heart?
which tree holds my blood?
do the leaves that unfurl like dancers
know the name of silence's child as well?
silence that hangs in unisen
painted stiff and yoked
her dress a bloody reminder
of all things spilt
all things best remedied
beneath your buried attempt.
Stardust
This life of bruised elbows
jostling for attention and fame
faded on a plate of runny aspiration
is desert water mirage for all
but ourselves, rid of vanity
and the coil of delusion
instead loving darkness
like a mother loves her son
close to her breast
wet from his suckle
and births her ideas
from stretched vaginal maw
crying for eternal love
like a lamb in darkness
her grasp is greed
her fingers cold like
your strangled attempt
to be free of her
away from your blood
shoving its tongue
inside your mind
as snakes writhe together
on a hot day
in a shimmering place
you will never find
except by following stars
as they rise, burst and fall.
