Cursor  #122
October 17,  1997

Blinking, bothersome cursor
why do you haunt
taunt, and tease
A wild
flow of endless
passions dripping
from florecent fingertips
why oh why

blink, blink, blink
like nervous eyelashes
Twitch and rage
as I shake
your hand line
after line like
that of a dead rotted trout
 

blank, hollow
bottomless pit
Nothing left
to say
or write
Words are useless
to bright stars
more significant
and alive
than I

dead white, virgin sheets
wanting to be ruffled
and soiled from bloodletting
oh why oh why
nothing to offer
but increase hearts
in anticipation
of spring awakening

A dragged out winter
of cold
sterile sheets
Never the warmth
of heat seeking
words, only you
mimicking my feeble attempts
for a bigger portion
of blanket
