late call

a secret
lost on our
unequal sentiments

he dodged my
obvious interest with flattery
of another

deflections and rejections
and mumbled ends about
being tired

silly me
called a boy
much
too
late.

Stranger Things Happen

I entirely entertain insidious incidents
Pertaining to pestered people
Namely you and me


First you fiercely fix
Your eyes on me

Second, secretly, seductively
You corner me

Third, thirstily, thoughtlessly
I dive in your attention

Dangerous, damaging, delectable
Inappropriate, indifferent
Saucy, seductive
Insatiable, irresponsible
Intimate strangers
