I submited with great zeal
when I realized there
was a typo in the first line

Imagine mi surprise
when I looked at the old
draft, realizing my horrible
mistake

Noing the editor
would quickly turn
down my hard work.

The old man
I thought
was Zeus
was only
an escaped convict

the woman I thought
was Artemis
turned out
to have been
airbrushed

I once thought
I was a wood goddess
but it turns out
I’m just a west coast
wanderer.

Hunted
from darkness
captain searching
upon the waves

ready to bring
his mammoth
catch

to the mind’s
shore.

I store my dreaming in a basement far below others' vision I store my wanting in a glass jar ready to shatter open and capture before they all fly away.

I'm really

trying not to

remind you

 

of all the wrongs

 

it's a hard

business

not to do so

 

easy target

many mistakes

and all.

not quite

one side

not quite

the other

 

somewhere

in between

moving to center

in all ways

 

except

when driving.

I'm a sucker

for the bonus

the extra sale

 

I'm a sucker

for the buy

one get one

 

I'm an easy

mark

for all the con

artists

of the world.

I am your

discount girlfriend

 

coming

at a fetching price

marked down

liquidation sale

 

everything must

go

because it's all

too depressing

 

not to share.

he tells me

we are making

a moment

together

 

so I pause

to consider

what to paste

in place

a bit of clock

the second hand

fragments of a broken

watch

 

what makes

up a moment?

suddenly
I found myself
growing a full
foot above
my tallest
brother
hair spurting
out to cover
me with nature's
rug.
