give yourself away
Dr Blair, on the night of August 14, 1999
Eye made you sign a contract for sex.
Eye would like to renew that contract,
update it by 19 years to include
hotel, food, gas, all extraneous expenses
+ $500.00 upfront per 24 hour period
of My Companionship.
Is this too much to ask for the continuation
of what was a marriage based
solely on sexuality?

My 2nd Best Kitchen Knife
inside the depths of Rose
My House is calling
Me from room to room
Tonight I will sleep
in Its Corner
with The Peepers
and The Waves
@ My Head
and Eliza’s Horse Blanket
on top
If I had been housed
in a glass dome
on the beach
Yes, I would have thrown stones
at My Captor —
I am now released, almost
in My Own Home
as congested as it is
with art on the walls
floor to ceiling
lining Me with protection
that I may reclaim
My True Self
Painting “Butt Ugly”:
glitter stuck to Its Cow Flops
first seen today lit
I have put My Hair
in a braid
for The First Time
since My Son was born
over thirty years ago
I have served My Self
The First Slice
of My Very Own
ice cream cake
Think I’ll go have more
The Sunrise is to The North
This Morning
It rained last night
and the sky is breaking up
The Clouds are luminous salmon pink
and there is no deliniation
between The Ocean
and The Dawn
