Omni-Photonic

I'd seen you shine
from different angles
once from afar above
so tiny yet
you filled
the sky
and I
resigned myself
to float
airily 
down to you
for you
so you
and I
could sway
away
together

and we 
are just
a beacon now

A single snap of a finger
aloft, midair, a sly smile
in soft light, cunning and cute
it will shoot you 
straight in the eye, 
no lie - words...
not bullets, of course

Morning

Birds 
on branches
outside silhouettes
against curtains
drawn

Down and Out at the Willow

Not a state of mind
at a local tavern
but a play
we’d run
playing touch
on the front lawn

catch the ball
in its shade

Well Managed

A good time for a reblog

Chagall's avatarAlphabet City

How does the wind keep track
of the trillions of leaves it blows

the infinite tiny barbs of feather
it ruffles in flight

the colorful kites strung taut 
in their journeys, guiding youthful hands 

the dandelion dander on behalf of a wish
on its way to new-found love

the many tears on cheeks to account for,
to someday dry to whisk away

the aromas it wafts,
the melodies it lilts

the voices it fades,
this busy wind

One learns quickly
to wipe away tears
before blowing one's
nose, but after a while
it really doesn't matter

Goodbye, Dear Sister

I sometimes say your name
as a question whispered

Eileen?

And I hear your answer there,
the quiet run of nearby water

Me, Shallow?

Her poetry reads
like Mass Cards,
but her breasts
bring new life

The Sign is such
there is no sign

Now that she’s gone
I realize how easy to have
picked up the phone

now here alone
no one calls me
