yup

uncomplicated

lack of possession

lack of expectation

joy of words

joy of moments

unconditional,

I am free to care

tenderness

in profile, you were

standing in a stream of light

late morning, gazing out

I wanted to ask…where was your mind?

(your mind sends me…places);

linoleum cool, a short step to you

your flesh and grasp sparking

what I thought I’d lost

breathless, I was left

with a fleeting moment of you

and smiles to last for days

in a moment of a moment

the Electric Demon breathing fire

brass balls, brass eyes

stone face, readies to draw

“Come on girl, ain’t you learned yet?”

and in a moment of a moment

on a deep inhale,

she pulls the Universe in...

sun and moon

the birthing of nebulas

in, to burning lungs

and cryin’ eyes

breathe held

the elements form

a molten lava 

eyes a fire

morphing into a cooling flesh
hard shell
eyes darken to embers

Only Cowgirls know
how to throw walls in crowded space

in a moment of a moment

the Electric Demon breathing fire

brass balls, brass eyes

stone face, readies to draw

“Come on girl, ain’t you learned yet?”

and in a moment of a moment

on a deep inhale,

she pulls the Universe in...

sun and moon

the birthing of nebulas

in, to burning lungs

and cryin’ eyes

breathe held

the elements form

a molten lava 

eyes a fire

morphing into a cooling flesh
hard shell
eyes darken to embers

Only Cowgirls know
how to throw walls in crowded space

duct tape and screws

in she come undone

picked at the ravels and pills

till a hole torn clean through

the coming undone?

it let the other in

and quickly let the other out

long she been

battened down and patched up

with duct tape and screws

though Androids [may] Dream 

of Electric Sheep

and Cowgirls with Demons

long to crush deep blue

she knows they ain't never

gonna be you

take the long way home

She lost her virginity at sixteen

in the home team baseball dugout

on the last day of junior year

to the guy who sat too close in class

not the crush she’d had for years

her sister had advised to

Just get it done

Don’t let some bastard break your heart

not like that

thirty years later she throws her heart into it

but lacks attachment
