Disclaimer

This blog ran for more than two years with no graphics--and it received about 50 page views. I was advised to add graphics; after seeing the huge public that followed blogs dedicated to homoerotic images, I decided to use that kind. The result was a dramatically increased number of monthly page views, and the number has remained fairly steady. Most of the images were found on the internet; although they are assumed to be in the public domain, they are identified as far as possible. They are exhibited under the “Fair Use” protections of United States copyright law: their function is simply to attract readers to the poems--I receive no economic benefit from them or from the blog. Nevertheless, they will be removed if they are copyrighted and the owner so desires. 1260 x 290

SOMETHING EXPENSIVE

The world knows you possess it—it is yours:

sweaters and sweatshirts, gold chains and tailored suits,

shampoo and suntan lotion and perfume….

You move among all things and pick and choose,

consummately consuming, never to be consumed.

Great models, when they dress—and undress too—

consciously pose to emulate your pose:

You cross the street, the sunlight in your hair,

and stop to talk; you lean back in a chair….

You mold all things around the way you move,

and everything so yields itself to you,

it is your body’s fashion that shows through.

And my heart, dangling in its wooden cage

like a chained dog that cries “Wolf! Wolf!” all night,

leaps, tugs, and jerks, and yanks, and strains,

hanging itself in helpless rage

the moment you come into sight.
