Summit


Mountaintop
experiences
do not require
a mountain.

One does not
have to be asleep
to wake up.

  1. Venus In Furs

    The moth woman fed
    Upon wool sleeves of old men’s
    Sweaters and grew tan.

    Her eyes, in heavy
    Black masquera, slit light through slats
    Of Venetian Blinds.

    Wings of noir crepe hung
    From pulsating spider webs
    In her trapeze act.

    On red stiletto
    High heels, she whipped and bled geeks
    At the piano.

    Not as romantic
    Was the male moth man who flung
    Star-knives at a blond.

    The blond was daughter
    To the moth woman from an
    Unnatural birth.

    All three formed a team
    And grew quite intimate with
    The sleek snow leopard.

    What issued forth not
    Even the ringmaster would
    Acknowledge at trail.

    Moths that were almost
    Human settled in Scotland
    With the lambs and ewes.
