Poem of the Day

Another one of mine:


Stray


A photo of a dead girl
stares at me as I write
for you.

I try to invoke the scene:
you straddled atop me…
but her frozen smile is whiter than our heat.

A vacation snap-shot:
her eyes squinting forever in the sun
seem happier seeing me than do yours.

I want to suck the life
from this dead girl’s image,
press lips to yours and blow in.
