Daniel June Poems

I'm flushed with love
Yet tongueless to tell you
Dancing alone
Yet breathing your name
...

My body is built for love
Hands tongue thighs
For love only love
You who are closest
...

Nirvana is hell is Chaos is Aleph is start is her womb,
Heaven then is metaphor is lightening is unconscious is her breast,

Yin and yang are the colors that shine her eyes,
...

The Mother
As close as pulse
And without other
...

I press a kiss upon your brow
Perfect child – God as child
Your ignorance worships beings
Less divine than yourself –
...

Your face is the sun
Don’t hide your light from me
My heart is a rose
He opens when you’re near
...

Naught fuller than I Love You's first return
Naught emptier than love's final goodbye
The first - soft as rain
The second - dry as salt.
...

Oh Mother! Oh Wife! Oh Employer!
Your words of disapproval
Hurt me more than you may know
I smile gently, polite and meek
...

The great forward flux,
O coming and becoming:
Flow your rivers through my fingers,
Fill full your breath within my lungs,
...

I search the clouds for a wrinkle of rainbow
Some sliver from which to wring a droplet of hope
Give me torrents, give me sky fall
But I will pull your tongue
...
