(hi! these two excerpts are from an old piece that is honouring the virtruvian man by leo da vinci, but written in parts, or vignettes, that showcase each part of a woman!)


            II. Her Body

More than a navy fleet,

stronger than a missile,

impenetrable, furious


vicious as a cyclone,


heavy, hulking, dense

             a neutron star


radiating, profuse as

the raspberry nebula



I encircle her,

a buzzard sniffing

out his prey.


V. Her Words


Sung like Psalms,

wise as the Proverbs;


the scribbles of a bard,

an augment of reality,

a hymn in the key of God;


she rambles in maxims

and promises absolutes,



I scream an orchestra

at the top of my lungs,

and she quips, shyly,

"I love you, too."
