MIRROR LOVE

Mirror Love

Not attractive enough

nor unattractive enough

to turn heads

Passed over

not passed at

and hands

are kept to themselves

#NotMeToo

I look at my reflection

evolution both

personal and cultural

gazes back

the dark lining

begging the broken question

#WhyNotMeToo

and the mirror cracks

SCRAPING AND CLICKING

Scraping And Clicking 

Scrape 

scuff 

scribble 

Grinding away 

one idea 

one word 

one direction 

one sentence 

Click 

clink 

clack 

Ticking away 

making it orderly 

making it neat 

making it pretty 

I’ll chip at you 

with my vision 

till you’re my Galatea 

unmoving 

perfect 

my statutory love poem

LOVE'S SOMETHING

Love’s Something 

Are you eating something 

not on my menu 

Are you wearing something 

not my style 

Are you doing something 

against my rules 

Are you thinking something 

against my laws 

I’ll be your everything 

because without 

that something 

you know 

you’re nothing
