Do you remember
That copyrighted pink dress
Brilliant move, Mattel

Gaijin Sakura
White dude with a shamisen
Trying to play soft

Drunk in a chalet,
I fucked your wife at base camp.
Don’t break a leg, dude.

Skiing down strip mines,
Snow White’s diamond run.
Vetted broken bones.

Skiing down strip mines,
Snow White’s diamond run.
Vetted broken bones.

The house of Usher
rises again from the swamp.
“Wherever you go… .”

A walk across town -
layers needed to survive.
The wind still peels me.

The sun’s slow rise
means a morning spent in bed.
Fuck you, Ben Franklin.

A cat by a fire
Stretched toes, biscuit body and tucked head
To be so at peace.

Permafrost runs deep
Even the sun cannot reach
No checking for change
