June Bugs

June bugs bump against the glow of your thighs
Blue filaments buzzing under white glass skin
In the dark they are long low florescents
barely making it brighter
And I wish you'd open your matching eyes.

Stones of Spring

We lean against the stones of Spring
Great grey rocks, sunwarmed of any shadow
Ebenezers that eternity has come this far
and we've kept apace.
And in Autumn we'll find black stones
saturated with cold
our skin will drink from them
like Moses' desert rock.

Lipstick

The wax of lipstick has sunk in
Pink elegant a woman again
Over boyshirt over bluejeans over boy company
The lipstick stripes bright and pink
"I like your lips"
Bite to see
What's changed between peach and pink
