10.29.10

i'm off haikus for the time being. mama's got a new pair of shoes.

I felt

I felt the apocalyptic pull of your body
and the cavernous space within your heart
I heard the echo as I flung my love in.

I felt monstrous in my desire to consume you,
Tendons, blood, brains, heart,
To boil your parts in a witches' brew.

I felt the blood rush to my face when our eyes met.
Not once, not twice: every time.
I touched your hot skin and wanted you with every preposition:
(beneath, beside, on top of, within) me.

I felt starved for you, always hungry, always growling.
I craved to have you at every meal.
I would have sneaked bites of you in between.

I felt myself becoming someone else,
a blend of romance novel cliche and neurotic crazy
Hairs on my neck always standing at attention.

I felt half eaten and bruised.
Before you I was a juicy peach, yet to be bitten.
As our legs intertwined, I believed, so were our fates.

I felt like a physicist attempting to refold the fabric of time and space.
Finding the equation that would make a circle become a square,
Trying to make nothing become what it is not.

I fell(t) down;
I struggled to get back up.

sorry, it's taken
a seat; an auction item
"sold", written in bold

yes, he's my lover
but the potential for us
falling in love? errr

van gogh's thick strokes can't
compare to his, never will
paint/skin glistening

who needs Giverny
when he's pressed close against me
so illicitly?

to hell with Man Rays
i will devote my days to
learn his body's ways

us, an (un)still life
a smeared, moving, blurry life:
my art and his (he)art

lightness of being;
far from unbearable, it's
quite incredible.

my life partner Kline wrote me his first haikus today. they're lovely.

a haiku for when we will spend a winter's day somewhere--anywhere--together.

there's a man reading
a woman sleeping, under
the snowy sky

on brilliant séjour,
speak softly the local tongue;
spring will be awhile

-JKG














one day we'll see the Northern Lights together and hike the fjords of Finland.

the wonder of...

come and gather round:
a drumroll, please, sir....the one
and only: Teeny!!!

strongest girl on earth!
unload your burdens on her
she will bear them all!

and her heart of steel:
use your might, try and crush it!!
look... it stays intact!

a human dartboard,
her skin attracts sharp objects
zing! stab! throw them hard!

fire swallower!
burning questions, hot desire
down her throat they go!!

and on the tightrope
balancing, on fingertips
she will never fall!

and mind reading too!
the deep secrets of your mind
will be hers to know!!

but when the crowds leave
and the hot spotlights cool down
who is Teeny, really?

no phenomenon
is she; yet, neither is she
a fool. (so fuck you.)

3.1.10

shape-shifter
i'm the mismatched sock
the talented, lonely jock
new kid on the block?

just one of the flock
Prometheus on the rock
the key... or the lock?

breather
my back breaking out
nasty thoughts snaking out, need
to take the time out

ode to beautiful men
don't need your largesse
we'd both prefer to caress
i knew you'd say yes

i'm part catalyst
part perfectionist; that's why
i got the chemist
