I AM NOT A BUNNY

I am not a bunny.

Thump. Hop. Bump. Dump.

I am not a bunny.

Pet me now.

Feel me now.

See you at Suis.

See you tomorrow.

Main street bunny.

Bunny in fishnets.

What have I done?

What have I done?

 

I am not a bunny.

Cum cup Pump mop.

I am not a bunny.

Grope me now.

Love me now.

See you at Exhibition Square.

See you at dusk.

Plain suit bunny.

Bunny in top hat.

Where do I belong?

Where do I belong?

 

I am not a bunny.

Watch my hare hair grow.

I am not a bunny.

Bend me over

I am not a bunny.

Look for me.

I am not a bunny.

Just wanting love.

I am not a bunny.

Bold and beautiful.

I am not a bunny.

White and furry.

I am not a bunny.

I Met A Woman

I met a woman.

She is so much better than you.

She is so much better than

you’ll ever become.

I Looked

I looked,

I know I shouldn’t have.

I looked twice now.

I Thought Love Was True

I thought love was true,

was real

was possible

but since she left me

alone

I have rethought

my initial thought

and have gone back to my original

thought

on the topic

at hand.

Love is not true

Love is not possible

And now the street worker

will have to sweep up my skin,

my lashes,

and my secreted ointments.

It Is A Good Day

Traveling through the states of my land.

Following my path to find my beloved.

 

Across mountains of earth and rivers of birth.

I moved through the woods and through the valleys.

 

My partner awaited me in the high desert sun.

She called my name again and again.

 

I sucked poisonous rattle snake venom out of my limbs.

I lived with my brothers among wolf packs in the wild.

 

Nightly I danced around the flames of the fire.

Like a crazy horse chasing his tail.

 

Through the fields of golden still wheat.

Beyond the trenches of my empty ache.

 

Visions of her kept my path clear.

Struggling among dirt of the mother.

 

Finally, I arrived to her beautiful side.

Put on my dress and placed on my paint.

 

Against the wind I approached my love.

An angel came down from the heavens.

 

She whispered in my ear.

“It is a good day to die.”

 

So, I took my pride and walked once more.

Great red of the core ate at my holy insides.

 

Drifting to my sleepless constant sleep.

My body became numb and my tongue ill.

 

I die a slow death becoming dead.

On this mighty good day under the same sky as she.

I’m Digging In The Dirt

I’m digging in the dirt,

trying to find support.

I’m repairing my spine,

restructuring my backbone.

I’m digging in the dirt

trying to find myself, lost.

I’m listening with open ears,

feeling my heart beating empty.

I’m digging in the dirt,

with nothing left to win or gain.

I’m taking a leap of faith,

believe it not.

I Don’t Want To Make You Cry

I don’t want to make you cry

I don’t want to make you sweat

Shed a tear

Or be afraid

 

I don’t want to make you hurt

I don’t want you to be in in pain

Crawl up inside

Or runaway

 

I don’t want to make you cry

I don’t want to make you hide

Become empty

Or scared

 

I don’t want to make you dive under

I don’t want to make you climb low

Surrender your self

Or remain silent

 

I don’t want to make you cry

Come home tonight

Let me inside

I’ve opened my heart

It stays ajar, for only so long

I don’t want to make you cry

I Want To Fall In Love Just Once

Just Once

Like in the movies I see

Like all the lovers I see

 

Just Once

Like the boys and girls

Like the sweetness I witness and never receive

 

Just Once

I want to be someone’s teddy bear

Someone’s honey

Someone’s bunny

 

Just Once

I want to cruise with a lover in my arms

I want to float in the air with a lover at my side

 

Just Once

Like the music I listen too

Like the dramatic theatre productions that I watch

 

Just Once

Like my friends and relatives

Like my professors and grandparents

Like my co-workers and past significant others

 

Just Once

During the holidays

During the Fourth Of July

During the New Year’s celebration

 

Just Once

During the first snowfall

During the August down pour

During the change of seasons

 

Just Once

During the central park walk

During the vast ceremonies

During the mellow drinks at the corner bar

 

Just Once

I want to be someone’s sugar pie

Someone’s pumpkin pie

Someone’s apple pie

 

Just Once

I want to fall in love

And never get out of it

 

Just Once

I want to fall in love

And get lost in it

 

Just Once

I want to fall in love

I Cry (Version #2)

I cry,

because I can’t meet your parents

or take a road trip with you.

 

I cry,

because I can’t have Thanksgiving with you,

or rent a movie with you.

 

I cry,

because I can’t watch you apply lipstick to your lips

or watch you wash your hair.

 

I cry,

because I can’t dance with you

or listen to you breathing in your sleep.

 

I cry,

because I can’t walk with you in the park

or go to an opening gala at a museum with you.

 

I cry,

because I can’t hold your hand

or expose our love to the world.

 

I cry,

because I can’t get lost in your eyes

or listen to the ocean with you.

 

I cry,

because I can’t view sunsets with you

or make love to you.

 

I cry,

because you can’t cuddle on my shoulder on an airplane ride

or let me embrace you during a cold winter night.

 

I cry,

because from sea to sea,

land to land,

I have not met you.

 

I cry,

because I want to be on an airplane with you,

kiss you and hold your hand

as we descend upon the NYC skyline.

 

I cry,

all the time I cry.

In The Shade

In the shade,

creeping up in the shadows,

out of the darkness,

he pounces on his prey.

Tears at her flesh

and eats her alive.

It’s been raining for days

It’s been raining for days.

It’s so wonderful.

You know why?

Because for days, we’ve stayed inside.

We haven’t gone out.

We’ve just stayed inside together.

For days.

And we just spooned, all day and all night.

I Don’t Want To

I don’t want to fall.

I don’t want to.

It’s not my style.

I’m cold.

 

I don’t want to fall.

I don’t want to be in.

It’s not my way.

I’m alone.

 

I don’t want to fall.

I don’t want to wake up next to.

It’s not my method.

I’m strong.

 

I don’t want to fall.

I don’t want to experience.

It’s not my desire.

I’m closed.

 

I don’t want to fall.

I don’t want to hurt.

It’s not my ache.

I’m deep.

 

I don’t want to fall.

I don’t want to feel.

It’s not my path.

I’m singular.

 

I don’t want to fall.

Not today.

I fell long ago.

I was wrong

Missed,

         the last hour glass

         crossing the river

         east to west

 

Penetrated,

         your mind in a moment

         felt like forever

         in just a second

 

Felt,

         your soul intermingles with mine

         wrap and intertwine

         slither in ocean patterns

 

Sought,

         lovers I haven’t found

         or humans in contact

         in last night’s dance

 

Believed,

         in so many things

         if they were imaginary

         but I was wrong,

                                     I bleed.
