Drawers

Drawers

Erotic cleavage is kind of mysterious
like my father's big underwear drawer.

I get the same feeling I had at age 5
when I wanted to stick my little fists
deep into the bunches of tube socks.

Now I glance about
hoping no one sees
me rootling around
for unique garments
with my pointy nose.

My face wanders through
a mist of soaps floating above
her white, lightly milk maidens.

As I search through the elastic
carefully with my modest hand,
I touch something cool and hard.

The metal felt softer next to her skin
and her tits were grander than Dad's.

His did not compare to his balls & balls of tighty whiteys.

Toe bitten off by an alligator,

Darkness Falls

LoserfaceinLove Paralyzing thoughts and the buzzing hymn of an empty phone line 
I can’t tell if it was just my imagination 
Or the truth whirling in the air 
Climax of an unwanted despair 
Eyes adjusting to bright lights 
Then collapsing at the trauma 
Falling dead at the scene 
Your voice on the other end is like a seared knife 
Cutting into my chest with a creeping desire to wound 
I never deserved this yet I take it in stride 
Like it’s not damaging my pride 
But the truth lies stark naked 
The deception that is no longer hiding behind biting words 
Yes, I know the real you 
Or I thought I did before the shortness of breath 
Prophecy of the impending death  
I crippled before you snapped 
deathly silence overlapped 
Yet I still thought about the final words spoken 
“Not a heart in the world remains unbroken.”
