Underneath the running faucet
She held the universe-
To invent flesh:
Warm breasts
A patch of seaweed
A seashell in the hollowness
She held her bones
Against the emptiness
To dissolve quietly
Lapping persona
From her hands
Craving flesh
And flower
A white orchid blossoms
Beside the urinal-
Like soft flesh melting
Beside her ashcan harbor
Flowers from an ashtray bloom
Beside the swan wrapped in cellophane
And like darkness tortures a flower
Treetops sway and then nothing
wet petals released interlude on Sat May 17 2014.
