grows out toward spring.

listening to you, again.

“Daikon radish”

Daikon radish

My Daikon radish

Points to a fetish.

It’s a bit raffish

Lying there.

It’s a vegetable

That I’ll tell you

To dispel you

Of notions there.

Its shape suggests

That it’s erectile blessed

And why I guessed

That you stared.

But rest assured

Your point’s absurd.

There’s no aphrodisiac curd

Made the Daikon way.

“Cold moon”

Cold moon

A cold moon crosses /

an evening that stretches /

through the sky and years.

Luck is a cat /

showing you his belly. /

Touch at your peril.
