Diane Rosenstein

Inside words
they appear
before you
...

Oh, I have you now
But it won't be for long
These days just tumble on
Grab with me this song
...

The good gets better
The bad seems worse
Nights last forever
& loving you hurts
...

White light on rooftop stands

Legs o' lizard splash & ripple
Sunbeam day, you are beautiful, floating
...

The closest friend I ever did have
But I won't let you know its that

Hold you close as tight as I can
...

This chance of mine
I bounce on it
It's coming on
so salvage quick
...

rat-a-tat
bounce & run
shake your tail
...

Who can think a tale more long & brown,
it's back
I worry some, I worry all,
so worry not
...

It's coming down
from sky

Lark screaming flight
...

Forever grateful
Grateful aligned

unexplainable
...

maybes come menacing
someone pulled something
over & under
...

I cry in the space that is filled with you
Guitar strings beautiful run through it too

What I can
...

For all that intends
Comes back round again
To reach its own
Way to go
...

Summer porch sit down stretch
Home alone and lightning's on the phone
Rains make dirt smells
wet on window panes
...

Master sliver lime-cut pie
Heave-erected mountain guy
Wool & weather strappin' by
One cut hunk of alibi
...

Pretense is in the eye of the behoover
let it dry

Pretense is a layer
...

Nights had soared surpassing days
Whispers near from far away
Back to what does come my way
I fear
...

Responsibility for eternity
Heartbreak in return
Its bigger than both of these
Of this, I've asked for none
...
