Heat
Blue Eyes
The tremendous heat flaring from
Your sharp blue eyes
Blue...
The hottest part of a flame
The eternal point of combustion
Sparks promises and inflames
Needs and desires neither of us can deny
There is no fear
There is no apprehension
You look at me as if
To challenge my damaged soul
With an arrogance borne through
A millennium of knowing
Where exactly my flash point is
My trigger
My heart
Your heat

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.
