I'm Too Fat

The middle not thin enough
and does know the same difference
of self thickness of the middle holding
hating for itself, though inculcated.

Of the bottlekneck and basin we
knew this much. And the invitation
to hotel penthouses because one's
long hair that did what it wanted.

Because the greater height means girth
and soft features soften. And brie too,
and emulsion. And halogen excruciates
and not excoriates but lightens.

Love's Comeuppance

Not touching what some sinews
left as if an accident made this.

One series of hairs on a palm
back are more increasingly

disturbed and a habit forms;
stood valiantly up and then

stopped standing for that straining
reason, laid silent and glistened.


Solitude in love's comeuppance
as thin rivulets come together

and diverge again, or one
merges with other and loses it.
