Stefanie Fontker Poems

She may sway robotically
To non-existent rhythms,
But I promise I will
Only ever dance to the sound
...

I long ago grew tired
Of begging on my knees
For nothing but a tiny
Taste of your love.
...

You scream words
Of deadly affection,
Dipped into sweet
Whispers and hot flashes
...

Destroy infinity
And rename reality,
To scratch is to caress,
And genocide is true love.
...

There is not one shadow
Hidden in your heart.
You are lively and true,
In your foremost sincerity.
...

Begging the muses for a dip
Into their sweet pool of inspirational
And mouth flooding affection.
...

The sky and ground seem to switch,
At the moments we all feel so solid,
So secure in our belief in destiny
And our unconditional love for humanity.
...

Treading water, seas away -
I hear you whispering into waves,
Mouthing a forgotten name
Along the meeting of moving lips.
...

It blows over you slowly
And then like a wave,
Cascades down your back
And you can't see it anymore.
...

There are so many women
Who have wanted exactly
What you have many nights
Violently cried for.
...
