Book Covers

twist your flamenco around me
we’ll dance privately – back of kingston city hall.
glen orbik will look from heaven and paint
we’ll become a gabriel hunt book cover
running for
safety as the adventure begins from market square, bullets flying.

in new york

the central park girls will abandon their pictorial cause
and return to advertising, reading about us
jealous over you, your dress flirting with danger around
my pant legs; my dipped head – fedora.
