Three poems from Lacey Hunter
(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.
