A kiss is a probe, isn’t it? Tell me . . .
Wait! First, meet me in the shallows
where the echoes go, or atop the tree
where we’ll find our self
in selfish longing,
won’t you?

The Beacon

She said she’d return as a small light,
one I would see should sadness surround me.

No need to search, just open your heart
I’ll guide you out of the dark

I think that I’ll bob just a bit

The songs are ancient
Sung by birds who’ll soon perish
Sunlit empty branch

Her love reached me in fragments
until I was whole, except for fine fissures
where sometimes I cry at the seams

Phrasal Turn

is to make the most of it.

Seduction

I fell in love
when the waitress said
Cherries-in-chocolate
or chocolate-in-cherries,
which will it be?

La Fête

How creative the moment it constellates
like stars in time set off little flares
I’m awake I’m awake I’m alive!
against real sky in reel time.  Let’s!
you and I do jigs on the dance floor
wave our flames high in the air
We’re awake, we’re alive!

The Fork

I remember now – once as a child
I had devised a way to forget.
Did I really spring from that?
