#personaleffects
searching for personas
personally affected
by personal effects
left with bones of those
searching opportunity
only to have their
promises unfulfilled
by coyotes who
took their money
and ran
leaving them dry
their faces erased
by the wind and sand
blowing
on a desert that
holds no forgiveness
only their bones with
a ring
a toothbrush
a doll
a photograph
waiting for their names

First Word
I gave my first word
Away to my mother
And it was filthy
She made me
Lock it out of the house
After washing my mouth
With Irish Spring
My tongue hated
The taste of clean

Bait and Switch
Holmes was a dropout with a dream
Took in more than she could handle
Promised a blood machine
But instead she gave a scandal
She fed on fragile, old, white men
Who showered her with money
When she was threatened with the pen
She blamed her ex-lover, Sunny
She denied the bait and switch
Claimed failure was not a crime
Let’s eat the rich
I bet they taste sublime
