Dice Dancers (1998)




We are weeds; we spurt up
untrimmed, and flecked by wild sun.

Planted by happenstance,
by blind, buffy hand of chance.


Awaiting days of grime and glue
then nights of sex and seppuku

and splashed seeds; I kiss luck,
a whimsical simpleton,

I bless the buffy hand of chance
that shakes the dice, that shapes our dance

in joyful ugliness askew,
aflare and chasing seppuku

through dank deeds, buttercup
seditions with viscous ends.


The dice still crack their vicious dance,
and siren crunching, blind romance

deludes me so I fail to see
my happiness when I was free:

When I was free, aflame, askew,
awaiting sex and seppuku.
