If you – my student –
go forward to do great things,
come back for me, take me along for the ride.

I’d rather dance just with you
perhaps even drink alone now that there is
some moon this New Year’s Eve
Your name is Jessica Eve so that makes you
the night before Jessica
(I was once the elf
of Saturday Eve)
I consider us one since we will howl
together in the wetlands tonight
The stars shift subtly look different
with passing time though not quite aligned
to the stroke at midnight
My heart will cascade its tickertape
among the fleeting, their raised flutes intone
ripe crystals, honed glass holds the promise
of the toast to which we all spring
Love & Peace in 2016
Chagall 2015/2016
I think we should require
everyone to kiss everyone hello
Yes it would take a very long time
but I really believe we are worth it

See that hand
waving up from your waistband?
That’s me
via your pajama leg!
I’ll just loll here a while
let my fingers moonwalk
up and down your belly
index
tapping on your navel
a little bongo
scurry like
a cat on a mouse
on parquet
triplet raps
middle to thumb
add the ring for
straight four-four time
end with all moving
cascades and flourish
like Vladimir Horowitz
full-hand five finger
quintuplets
ah, so you’re ticklish!
well, I’ll just blow raspberries here . . .
and here . . . and . . .
okay, enough? cry uncle
Tio!
Come on, get dressed,
we’ll go have breakfast.
Did I lie,
wasn’t the sleepover fun?
