(William Carlos Williams) Making Love Inside an Owl In the dark they will catch two kinds of needing. Chained up by pubic hair- I pass by with my camera. They say, "let's make love in the sand box, in the ocean, at Global Warming conferences-" me without a life-vest, them stranded in love. They sound like two tambourines orgasming as I duck behind bushes. . .capturing. (William Carlos Williams) Bearing His Potent Chest A tubelike man sits in an abused way while another tells him of the ghetto benefits for soft females who have big teeth- who eat fish upside-down while reciting the story of the Star- of-Bethlehem. Their breathing forgets everything there is to fibers- there is to flight. A Bohemian father fosters within them the scent of nests to prolong nightfall. Now then inside a mitten- inside a deck of cards while ripening the tomato the females' anthem goes along with a titter- now there beside you the beeping of gas as old men pant. Them there sitting making a profit off of mint flavored toes- high up on the bonfire- them big and flat and of moth complexion. (William Carlos Williams) Beaten by a Beauty-Shop Owner What happens in the absence of John Wayne? do the jawbones of fawns across the world break where once the ambiance of beaches tasted of ash and the dancing- We enjoyed the dancing- the aching. Sweet and beaten, he chewed every canyon and every face that cheated the cat. -- Lacey Hunter lives in Ashland, Oregon where she studies the art of "invisible poetry."
