they seek
a permanent seat
one that will allow them
to stay on the taxpayer's treat
on government and opposition benches
they do enjoy sitting
yet they care not
for the pockets they're hitting
few do much while in parliament
but they do keep
accruing monies
as if it were
a lifetime entitlement
the vocation
of being a politician
is similar to
an adding up mathematician
on the day they do retire
the paying out by treasury
doesn't expire
off the public purse
they'll not be weaned
for it is
an unending river
of cream

hazel eyes rest languid
   soft clarinet jazz blows far away
                    smooth skin beacons calloused hands

mini-blinds separate yellow street lamp light
casting patterned shadows
       our mixed class
                       mingles with
                                the last tenants sweat and musk

sticky fumbling on a stained sheet
   while the bass line plays low
mouths pass but never touch
        forgoing intimacy
                     bent on the finish line

rumpled stockings in the moonlight
    lay below a lipstick stained wine glass

all that she left
       colored the room rose    /

When the sun shines
i am nothing but beautiful
When the raindrops kiss my face
i am weak
When the heavens are torn open
i wait. Silent
When they burst and lash out with furios flashes of fire and thunder
I am tempestuous
unfair

unfeminine

You say you love every part of me
but on my worst day
i am solitary
On my best,
i am yours

When i love you
i am inadequate
When you abuse me
**i am woman

Rain…
Down…
Hear the sound of my voice as it
Pounds…
Out…
In the rain hear the words as they
Are…
Now…
Mere reminders of who we once
Were...
And how…
There is no time left waiting for
Us…
Now…
So as the voices of rain ever fall
Down…
Would you honor me with your
Reply?
Now?

Just as the sun is committed to coming up each morning,

Just as each day is promised,

Just as the moon and the stars will always shine,

I will love you,

And that is guaranteed.
