Herb

His girlfirend Lilia
is a fish

and lives next door
in the sea

He shows us the jetty
where he calls for her

to surface
And he is no fisherman

All his friends are bodybuilders
with most powerful tongues

Mercury Rising

Abstraction stands in fear of you
Figures of sand await the tide
like a hungry couple their first bath

while you are running hot and cold
uncontainable and positively poisonous
You laugh at the wrong moment
