i suppose
i’m too happy
to be a poet this day
happy people tend to write
bloody awful poetry
however
i’m not drunk
i’m not high
i don’t need a spike
i like working in the city
i’m not heartbroken nor homeless
i’m not lonesome
i’m not horny
i’m not at war with god
politics
my childhood
or a neighboring country
i’m not married or divorcing
i rather love my imperfect children
this is a poem for my fellow writers
heavy bleeders of ink
succumbers to whim
dancers of vehemence and fury
freedom fighters of the fantastic
who dream in crusades
look how beautiful you are when you smile
you smell of lavender
newsprint and vanilla icing
all this
and i get to say
tomorrow is my birthday

the only thing
the only thing
i’m wearing today
is the smile you caused
last night

still with eyes
above their bones
ghosts gather
for gossip socials
in cemetery starlight
smoking nightshade
playing hearts
having a laugh
at what fools
the living are
still with eyes
yet devoid
of sight
you know a man
loves you madly
when
from time to time
he is overcome
with the desire
to crawl across the floor
his fears
too much wine
and english history
to lay his head in your lap
press his face into the softness of your belly
content with you as his world
breathing deeply
