TERRACOTTA
Swaggering symbol
Opaque
Musky mathematical problem
written in garish arabesques
Seductive but maddening
It becomes accessible
during romantic dinner
its lines drenched in
question mark-candlelight
and theorem-kisses
Under penciled chandelier
geometry professor
(sexed-up with ideas)
courts it
Molding it
with eraser palms
into docile clay equation
agreeable for cerebral fucking
James Mirarchi
I like the lightness of an eyewitness poetry of the openness of your communication in your work
in DEADSNAKES and BLUEPEPPER.
