Cloaked in chill
gracious corona
winked at earth:
...
He is a solo drum
trying to get his rhythm
against the sputtering rains
...
Frazzled at the day's end
when I smell her flesh
she curses my knots
...
Vision
to understand
the final whole of un-
discovered specifics before
...
Tall houses appear
to grow like trees from the plane
slowly rising high
...
I can't understand
their mystic heaven or thrills
housed in awareness
...
After hurried
lovemaking we drift to sleep:
our back to each other
...
The lips in her eyes
& long hours in the mouth
no moist secret
between us to reveal:
...
