UNPUBLISHED POETRY

wash, rinse, repeat

listen to me,

he said, listen –

return my uniform the

hat the gloves all of it no

i’m not no i’m not

coming home no they can’t

never mind that i’ll tell you

later just return it they won’t

untitled

a man and a woman mutually in love

happens once in a lifetime

and he was it for me.

Charles Stone. Charlie.

He died in ecstasy

so I don’t think what I did was wrong.

He never got angry, even when I bit him

and beat him

but he said “Don’t kill me.”

Charles never wanted to die

but he wanted to die

no, he wanted to die

but he never wanted to die.
