Simple
and
deep
I
would
rather
be
versus the alternative of then otherwise having to be complex and shallow.

She always comes and goes
Late at night, then early morning
Stays the shortest time she needs
A gasp, a sharp intake of breath
She holds, though I’ve never heard her release

It’s a simple story really
about a girl who could fly
and did so well
until that day
she fluttered and fell
too close to the sea
and is trapped ever since
at the crest of its waves
held there by surface tension . . .

You once danced in perfect dark,
with no eye to discern the grace of form,
nothing shone on passion for Terpsichore,
your body yearned, stark figure on ground, unseen aloft
in space for no one but you, in wait to unveil the inward glow,
before the birth of sight and no one was, there was promenade and cabriole.

Rain sounds massage me
each wet gurgle a bubble
dropped hollow echoes

Forest rains pour down
to wash human scent away
wild life rejoices

We are troubadours, vamps,
poets and scamps,
Shakespeares, Anaïs Nins
Ginsbergs, Plaths, Nerudas
oh my!
Oh my goodness, another idea, quickly
My blog, new post . . .
Let it flow,
convey the sounds, the rhythms
that beat inside
Deliver me;
bring me
the head
of an avatar
