a selection of unreleted 5-lined poems

flex of breath
into her
she stripped him
of concrete
and stone

~~~~~~~~~~

her hair
fell across his shoulder
leaving echoes
of time
in his ear

~~~~~~~~~~

curdled milk
in stretched heat
rising steam
from cement bowls
leafed spoons never hold up

~~~~~~~~~~

dipping my toes
in the sun
endless ripples
circle out
meeting the green lights of sky

~~~~~~~~~~

her lips
pronounced
in shadows
of red
and guilt

~~~~~~~~~~

unfurled
fern leaves
left spring
with rain
the time in his hands

~~~~~~~~~~

these five lines
blueprint designed
from conception
to fruition
have nothing to do with you

~~~~~~~~~~

his photos
floor scattered
wooden sepia colors
blur
the edges

~~~~~~~~~~

we had drinks
off warm flesh
every lick of thirst
slips across
our wet skin
