4/21/2015 – Patricia A. Hawkenson’s Reflections – Cup of Confidence

Cup of Confidence

I am unsure
of whether
you desire
the stimulation
of caffeine
or the no-bra spirit
of caffeine free,
but I know
the idea
of loving you
is brewing bitter
with infused jealousy
as you are distracted
by her other offerings.

I’m doubly sure of that.

4/21/2015 – Patricia A. Hawkenson’s Reflections – Hopscotch

Hopscotch

I’m not my makeup
yet I draw
like child’s play
a path to find me
under my blood lip twists
and black brow turns
till the sidewalk of me
heaves
and the earth below
rises
as my dark desire
finds its joy
and double dares
the clouds to come.
