change the package labeling on the erectile dysfunction
drug, Viagra
after learning that some men suffered
a loss of
vision after taking the drug.

“This is not significant”, commented the Pfizer spokesperson.

The Obscure Exalted

you are the moth, not the powdered
gem tone eye
shadowed
moth.
only
the gray, insipid
moth
though you have swallowed the
tears of subway
riders. have swallowed your own tears
because no one has
noticed.
here is the moon on black sky
not a hole to
climb through. you are not
destined to be birthed
through night’s
black scrolls
i have no
such illusions.
i am the moth
of black and white colors
of invisible sparkle
though i have
wanted
i never have
swallowed tears of anything
not even me

When there were two, there became three. And lo, the third came from the one and the other, and became one in time.

Watery Light

in the filmy morning i
treat the light the way i would
treat your face, your scent,
your presence
if I were
brave enough






.

another name for blue

again and again the oysters
and blue and green
and i have slid and loved and
eaten along the leg of the king
in dreams of yellow and taupe
so close to gold but too far for
richness
i have dreamed the laugh lines
of a distant father
a nearer priest
another name for blue
i know
nothing
