Flawed

grey matter in black smoke

lungs are no longer bespoke

ultramarine conceals the observer's eye

egg tempera without the yolk

Empty Passenger Seats

The roads stretch from

white moon to black sun

over a span of two weeks

everyone starts to look

like paper cutouts

barefoot on the sidewalk

even sadism seems sane

as I watch poets photograph

words as they speak

Searching for anonymity:

the comfort of exposure

in search of unconditional desire;

nudity, like the mind of a sociopath
