28 Inches of Snow

 

stuck in the house
no whiskey no chocolate no love
how will I survive?

 

 

 

Wolf

 

I didn't see the wolf
lurking in me, lurking in you
when we set out through the woods.
Take your prey. Take me. Take mine.
Sink your teeth into my throat
and hold fast.
Consume what is left of me
so I can be with you always.

 

 

Portrait

 

When the time came
to paint her portrait
we opted for a nude.
The artist started
with her ass
and spent a year there,
then six months
on each leg.
The breasts took
a decade.
And the face?
He says he's
coming to that
real soon.
