You crashed my party …uninvited
A philanderer?
A knave?
Apprehensive
But unafraid.

It was my birthday
You did not know
Absent-minded?
Not in the know?

A few friends. Not a real party.
Nothing indeed to write home about.

And I watched as you made the night shine stars.
Made metaphors
Magnificent.

Yet I did not thank you as I left your house
The next morning.
You were, after all…
Uninvited.

Infidelity

Gargantuan lies,
Stretch languorously,
In the lazy stillness of your room
And look on,
As the rich funk rises….

I scrub hard
Lady Mac Beth-like,
At imaginary stains…
And my knees buckle
As I vomit forth
These frozen epitaphs

That lay caught,
…distraught…

In my heart.
