candy girls

Little candy pastilles with ruffles

more like wisps than sticks.
More like ethereal spindles,
ghosting into that mysterious swamp...

Henry’s vapor face. Nose, foot, breast, penis—nothing

When the Shortest Poem is Not Short Enough...

I will then turn to the unwritten letter
Cut teeth on venery---

play at "marbles"

until the dogs come out

with their hands in knots.

Don't undo the knots,

but trace them back

to origins---

Maria, or Diego Velazquez.

I'll be there in my best dress

when you wake up

also---your face a slur (now) of this

in the sheets of plastic

you drew around me.

Look! a moving light---

the snowmen in the park

waving their arms

side to side---
