 I've been going through things, getting rid of things and found the first issue of Satellite Telephone, a print magazine out of Seattle that was published in 2007.

I've 3 poems in the mag, poems which I hadn't preserved but that I like.  Here they are:


WHILE I WAS OUT


My vocabulary

did what?!


THE CURTAIN

between you

and I

has two

cut-outs.


Through one

you read

my lips


and through

that other

I caress

your crotch


until we

come to

switch positions,

begin again


with a

curtain stretched

between us

just so.



WHILE I WAS OUT


You enjoyed

my symptoms


much more

than me.
