The Crush
why would he
tie me in a knot
and leave me there

Unwritten Poems
letters hung out
on the red carpet
waiting, waiting, waiting
for the poet to arrive

they entered as diphthongs and
contractions and
mated as heterosexual vowels
with bisexual consonants
they were on their best behavior
waiting, waiting, waiting
but the poet refused
to sharpen her pencil
