WATCHTOWER
No spiral staircase descending
from my one window
over the city.
No man seeing
my stare
longing.
I won't admit it
grinding my teeth,
flaring my nostrils,
stomping my feet...
High
cloud underbellies
muscled
men
I cannot reach...
I scream and those above only hear
a faint whistling of some common bird.

Sand Trap by Anita McQueen
SAND TRAP
We're only
here
a short time
melting
into the sand
sidewalks
leading
into a maze of
nowhere
buildings
boned
for failing
walls in this old desert
Desert Earth.

Fading Smoke by Anita McQueen
FADING SMOKE
It's so right
you take me
in flight
over rooftops and bad thoughts,
tombstone corners I've danced
squinting visions
I'll never see
my father without pain,
railroad tracks stitching the distance
where all the world is dying
stalks of corn
yellow and bent
my tears cannot help,
far flying
as you turn me
on my back,
gazing up,
stars gazing down at my resemblance,
my jeans on fire at the cuffs,
leaving a trail
fading smoke...
coughing
how could I
forget your name.

Dirty Taxi
dirty taxi
idling against the worn curb
opening its door
