The Report


K. St. Marie is in bed,

not sleeping,

but trying to


and that Goddamn Alice

is on the couch,

buried under the green blanket,

putting out heat.


I spend my nights here,

the TV talking loud,

the computer thinking quietly

and the mini-blinds closed tight.

I peek at the gay guy

next-door.


I suspect he knows more

about the disappearance

of my weenie dog

than he's telling...


I watch for clues –

nothing yet.

He's good...





The Forever Love...


takes you to the point

where it’s just

a soft cheek,

a few warm kisses

and no more goodbyes

to strangers –
