Through these eyes

Through these eyes (2008), is available from Tainted Coffee Press. It's a perfect bound flip-book chapbook. On one side are poems by me. On the other are poems and a short story by S. A. Griffin, co-editor of The Outlaw Bible of american poetry. It is 6 dollars (which includes shipping). It can be ordered here - http://www.zygoteinmycoffee.com. Anyone interested in reviewing it contact me at my email address. Here are some excerpts from the book:


"I scan cracks in sidewalks, search for reference points
in stones and birds, inhale annotations of his being
spilled on grass and dew, but get distracted
with the way words like apparition, supernatural
and esoteric haunt my tongue."

-From WITHIN THIS HOUSE I'VE COME TO LOVE

"Out of boredom, I paint my thumb
across its body,
collapsing it into a sort of ancient hieroglyth.

Its death rattles the wind..."

-From IN THIS CITY, THE BIRDS ARE ALWAYS HUNGRY


“…my body aches. I want
to feel again the touch
of a woman, fall in love
with a complete stranger,
stand barefoot outside atop
the heat of clumsy sidewalks
in the rain – both our bodies
tickled by liquid kisses
as thin as pin-pricks,
content in the imperfection
of our not yet knowing
each others’ needs or secrets…”

- From IN THIS BEDROOM
