"Safety Locks"
She waits in the trunk so
she doesn't have to watch
the animals
rip him to pieces.
"Peterson, North Dakota"
I'm fifty years old and married
for now; no one will hire
a master.
"My Friend"
When they finally pried him off of me,
he left a hickey
and his legs were still moving.
"Paris"
Where rich husbands take
their wives for collagen, silk,
and temper tantrums.
"Backstroke"
A fly frogswam
in my red and died
on the spoon, but I let
the petal float.
"The Rule"
I forgot my umbrella;
I didn't think I'd be wet.
"Sparkler Dessert"
Tonight is everyone's birthday;
the waiters are pissed.
"Resting Paris Face"
I have never seen a girl
wearing a bow on her head
look so angry.
"Amsterdam"
Women are moving behind glass
the old men tapping
smiles like rotted corn.
"Exile"
Bottles clutter the beach.
I read and record every message.
