Looking for transference, of what, unsure, onto
dead god in grocery picking primly through
unripe plums? or maybe someone with long
expensive couch, listening intently, nodding and
falling, why of course, falling madly.
Bipolar, tortured, scribbling insane, births
purple diamonds in devil's domain. Eyes of
old rum, voice of spent coal, a sunburned
soul -- a f***ing genius, literally so.
Must treasure weak insomniac, cerebrally,
horizontally-harrowing in all good ways.
Stupid universe once tagged and removed me
for admitting small obsession with sleep's still twin.
Must kiss pets on lips. Adore music. The void.
Long walks inot in the rain, be tall for delusion
of safety. Looks unimportant. Yammer
incessantly, like tomorrow never came. When weary
of poetry, music, art (me), confess. No games.
Take your time. (Regret forever.) One last thing:
Not after your money. Just infinite riches.
Julie K. Shavin 2009
with only one wrist to stand on a shortage of
infinite riches? -gene.

Back on the couch, will talk later. Hugs! Jasmin Horst
