“Shots fired”

Shots fired

.

If my vagina fired rounds,

Deep, throaty, rattling sounds,

Bringing men to their knees and to the ground.

If my vagina fired rounds.

.

At the range the other day,

Man sidled up, “Let’s play.”

He pulled out his little gun.

I fired mine and watched him run.

.

If my vagina fired rounds,

Deep, provocative, throaty sounds,

Bringing men down to the ground.

If my vagina fired rounds.

.

Cock the hammer and squeeze just right,

Feel the tension release its might.

Trigger quickens to the right touch

As do I, then I release so much.

.

Listen ammosexuals, I aspire

To all the things you desire:

To live untrammeled by regulation,

Or laws that bind me to subjugation.

.

If my vagina fired rounds,

Deep, provocative, throaty, sounds,

Bringing men to knees and ground.

Would my vagina then be profound?

“Holding”

Holding

Winter evening hues /

paint the troubled sky at dusk /

dark into night.

“Winter”

Winter

Dusk hung in her mind. /

Blood red painted against the sky. /

Winter mood unfolds.

“In a moment”

In a moment

Dying autumn leaf, /

Whisper now how winter comes: /

With love or without?

“Wind”

Wind

Like birds on a wire, /

Waiting for inspiration, /

My thoughts ache for wind.

“Haiku in the fall”

Haiku in the fall

Haiku in the fall. /

Stripped of ornamentation, /

words live sparingly.

“Seeds”

Seeds

Autumn seeds descend. /

Winter’s cold underworld. /

Spring’s ghost whispers hope.

“Wings”

Wings

Wings turned to the sun, /

spreading gentle hymns to the light. /

Spring songs without words.

Life is sorrowful /

But fool that I truly am /

I love you, always.

“Let us”

Let us

Let us ride balloons: /

Up to the heavens and moons. /

Light as grace and stars.
