Ocelot Stalking

 

I am in search of the striped tail.

Months spent in small Texas towns

and Mexican cantinas yield zilch.

Your spotted pelt –

so beautiful – so rare.

I know your nocturnal habits.

Still, you are solitary

and although you are wickedly wild;

your yowl is circumspect.

Now autumn is fading.

The season stirs primal instincts

so, I continue to move in the shadows.

 

 

With All The Attachments

 

The washable no-stain smile

changes exactly with the power

of the immediate vacuum

and style of the crush-proof carpet nap.

                                               

The suction tongue always cites

the proper voltage electricity

and adjusts quietly to floor levels.

Both voters and bosses alike know

this one comes with all the attachments.   

 

                

Consulting My Wraith

 

You are so much more

than electric alter-ego.

The flash frame fusion

between total cloud loss

and solar solstice sympathy

haunts with glimpse and gravity.

You offer only secluded signs

that tempt, tease and taunt

multiple DNA directions.

I am in the garden now

with radiant sunlight beams

warming and burning in me.

You appear on my right side

and I crave ultraviolet comfort.
