Didn't mean to be away so long. I've just been super-busy and tired. I've still been writing, just not posting. So here's a heaping helping of four new poems to make amends (with you, with my friends and with myself).

Mike

-it's been a while-
I wound my mantel clock with elastics.
The gears fell out:
springs and used calendar pages.

I keep them in my pocket;
little weighted eyes,
pie charts of my failure.

So, I was hoping you weren't too busy tonight
I told the greasiest sprocket.
I wear her as a locket.

Strung her to my neck with piano wire.
Tomorrow, I hope to gut the rest of my empty.
Add some color to this lack of festivity.
