Speckled frogs leap from my mouth
to drown in the wine (i play a minor god and transform coffee(orig.) to wine)
between our wisdoms
and decision.

I could smile
and turn these frogs to pearls
speak of love, our making
our giving.
And if the spell works
shall I break down or build what is broken
into a new house
shook with confusion

Shall I strike
before our magic
turns colour?

-Audre Lorde

You know something, as I was shutting down this computer
last night I noticed that I hadn't SENT the first poem to you, it was still in Preview mode on another window. HA HA! I'm sorry-
I'll just have to drop my drawers and you tan my little white butt for that.....
come to think of it, never mind- I would like that too much so here is what should of been the first one--

meant chocolate truffle cake at a pastry shop

driving up 10th to the Hill she told me
'don't stop too close behind a big truck'
'you can't see around it'

<love is like that>

we parked across the street

from an ice cream store and saw on the sidewalk
a big telescope I thought was a dummy to advertise
some planetarium show because of the vinyl housing
but no these optics are real 'it won't bite you' he said

'go ahead and look'

and there was Saturn

big as a dime on a tablecloth rings and a moon the man
eager and serious in a black t-shirt was offering
views of Saturn and Jupiter for fifty cents
we came back for Jove and

three more moons

there on the pavement

the sky blacked out otherwise by shop street traffic lights
teenagers with smokes and radios sitting on the wall
right behind us summer crowd edging by single file
in their running shorts smell of coconut oil
on Broadway in the middle of town

I had to come in to see out

~J Aliesan

getting me a glass of that magical elixur,
plez.
that transforms a trucker into a poet.....
