Great work on this blog. Liked your post about our class activity when we passed our papers around. My story ended up pretty funny as well. Keep up the good work.

The hippies are dead


I remember the hair,
the flow of cotton,
the human scent on park grass,
young hairy girls
with high pimpled foreheads
leaning like children
to feed me Oreos,
hair hooked behind gypsy ears
while my small fingers shaped
bird's wings from wet gray clay,
watching, smiling,
(forgetting quickly
that they were dying)
all the soft-spoken
John the Baptist
to an Aquarian Christ
that never came
or perhaps they killed
(because we always
kill our gods)
but either way
the hippies are dead
and I will burn in prayer
on this three-years-eve
before the Aquarian's vessel
is tipped upon us.

Nude Descending a Staircase

Toe after toe, a snowing flesh,
a gold of lemon, root and rind,
she shifts in sunlight down the stairs
with nothing on. Nor her mind.

We spy beneath the banister
a constant thresh of thigh on thigh;
her lips imprint the swinging air
that parts to let her parts go by.

One-woman waterfall, she wears
her slow descent like a long cape
and pausing on the final stair,
collects her motions into shape.
