And One Step Forward

Sometimes I fall
but I rarely land

They tell me
that that’s alright

Life eternally rich
I breathe enough for us both

Out of mind
my conscious dwells

Spirit
impetus

Love, Will Shortz

my life is like a eugene maleska crossword
with enough filled in you get the theme

I dip an edge of my cherry tomato in an espresso cup of
cool water, then place a single grain of coarse salt in the dimple of
where she separated earlier from her stem

it adheres there on the short ride
to my mouth

She said Come on baby love me, come lie down beside me
(breathe)…especially when it snows

Tech Mo

My iPhone requests that I tag with a name
forms among leaves of trees that look like people
clouds resembling lost friends
our loves in the stars

For Chloe

where ripples fold thin flues arise
to hollow glass tubes to chime

she of first lines and I of the hook
made beautiful poems together

haunting caesurae

we prayed coaxing winds to carry
the continuum

my life
she would cede

at a 4-way stop where none proceed
she pirouettes?

I sometimes forget

who I am
supposed to be

until a prized wind
raises the scent of rain
off of mossy rock to me

Please know that every cherita I will ever write
will be inspired by Celestine @ Reading Pleasure

Alas, so very few of my cheritae will ever be as good as hers. 🙂

Never ever rethink a post once it’s out there
unless it is actually needed

You second guessing
You is hilarious

Today, I witnessed and sensed a small bird’s fear
to have a red-shouldered hawk alight
upon an adjacent branch

While an early bird gets her share of the prize,
as a worm I prefer to sleep in.
