J.J. Campbell- Two Poems


better than what i have found around here

the african queen
has promised to
save me one day

from what i don't
yet know

but she's got
curves in all the
right places and
has offered to
do my laundry

that's certainly
better than what
i have found
around here

though, i'm not
looking forward
to giving up a
kidney to pay
for an airline
ticket
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
for where once nothing was ever possible

touch me in the
cold sunshine

steal my breath
with each passing
glance

may the heat of
the angels bridge
this divide in our
souls

for where once
nothing was ever
possible

i give you a kiss
to the never ending
possibilities of now
