i put cinnamon
in my pasta sauce today.
surprisingly good.
just think, type, submit.
every poem is anonymous.
Lord, keep your rumored
all-knowing eyes from seeking
out the dark secrets of
my damp and shadowed
sheets. I'm not your child, only
a private woman
loving a quiet
man, thrilling in vice, and my
earnings remain mine.
You who --so I heard--
breathed my name at conception,
wrote my life in your
Book of Life, told my
sordid tale in black and white--
just leave me alone.

i asked him to give
me seventeen syllables
he looked and said "huh?"

there where the ghosts dwell,
under the stars, beneath the
trees, alive, waiting.
