Pen pal
He went to bed, cradling a pen
his back turned to the woman
when he awoke, she was gone
and, in her place, a giant pen.
Mixed
The best and most dangerous lies
are those mixed with truth.
It’s truth that attracts others
and allows them to accept untruths.
Master and servant
Rarely, having neglected his art
the man catches a glimpse of the artist
that cold, appraising gaze
the glint of an eye-tooth
better to turn away from the mirror
and best not to have a blade in hand.
The Net
Cartoons characters run on thin air
and fall only once they look down.
With us, that fatal downward glance
might be the act of doubting The Net.
Your Love
Your Love was never
one or the other—
It was bull, bullfighter
and bloody cape,
all twisting in the wind.
