This poems draws a blank...
_____________________________________

A Blank Page. A Blank Sheet. A Blank Slate.

Oh
to the
crisp
white universe.
For awhile
mine to defile.
To draw a blank,
and then to draw
on it.

Perhaps
a virgin
paper sheet
then her bloody
ink stain
my pleasure,
her pain.

I probe
the unlined surface
to reach
what is
far beneath--

something to cut
my carnivore teeth.
