At Fuzzy’s
an afterparty fragment
by a female Faust
a place to be & not a place
for a time after a time
strangers nonetheless together
not unwilling to be kind
better yet than but me better
rather symbol over sign
likely etchings or the weather
out far sighted foreign mind

What You Will, Under Will
(A Fantasy Invoking The As Yet Unmet)
by a female Faust
“Give sanity a longer leash, but some of us have sharper teeth…”
“Love’s Secret Domain”
Coil
Let your heart beat even in your memory,
Let it all of them — me — you — remind
Kinesthetic extrasensory
Lightening future manifest your impossible dreams all the while
Then — of a sudden make all too real: me whispering, too close to you, just behind
A hot breath moist against your nape
No earshot to darken the echoing mile
Overpowered de facto complicit rape
If real binding, banish, but play at pleasure & find
What you will, under Will, in the depth of a smile
I am already there in your mind, let me in:
Of the oft counterfactual I you yet remind
Becoming, once seen, the all -ways -ready seeming
Should I but inherit the prize — more than kin — I bequeath:
An be mine, it will never have been less than kind
This moment’s confusion well I know
As much with the civilized as delicate, best to roundly look — beneath:
Proof. Of all that quote endquote -ing claims to show
We’re the ones with longer leashes now, you see?
It’s sanity that has the sharper teeth
Beware! Be thou yet subtle, strong, & fearless; you may find
Sometime love plays at only seeming blind.
