four poems

four poems photo

Levi’s High

My moods as blue 
as these lake hues
Ass still looks hot in this
double denim though,
so fuck yous 

Swatting flies
On my thighs 
in the desert
Amor

 

Bouchon


Steak frites & oysters at the bar
You set the bar
You and me
Where should we meet,
Lover?

 

Hookah & Hijabs

Two women
smoking hookah
On the beach in their Hijabs,
not giving a fuck
I smile as i walk by
and tell them how beautiful they are
They smile
and giggle

 

Give New York All My Lover

She called me up,
she said,
“I’m not really feelin’ it”
She said,
“What’s the fucking point,
can’t someone just 
open the door?”
We want to live in a world
of cheese platters toppling with fruit,
plunging into pools of chocolate
Sparkling waters and wines
Endless cakes, king crab
Cigarettes on swings overlooking Manhattan
I said, “babe, demand it,
know your worth
believe in the big break
and give New York all my love”
