In progress
Words
Words progress
Words lemming-like and anxious
...
Born of grey froth and
Brought forth
Baptized in the sea
Prodigal son
...
You left us
Lost in a world
Bereft of your magic
For an instant and now,
...
Inhabited and infested
By thought and desire
Monkey-brained and black veiled
Dreaming of day while
...
He is gone now
The minder of roses
We never exchanged number or name
But greeted each other as we greeted the dawn
...
Things seemed to fall in place
That day at the grave
Birdsong and backhoe hummed
Otherwise it was quiet
...
Our lives are a filigree of moments
They ebb and flow on a sea with no shore
Our bed is sargasso / dead calm and lust-less
Smiles and cousin-kisses are the trinkets entombed in this tangle
...
Everyday
Everyday
I search for God
Never remembering
...
What shall the rain say
If we should dance in its gentle grace?
No matter,
The rain will wait
...
Listen now to the world
Cry out
It pulls you to place
It begs
...
