Linda Hepner Poems

Nirak, Nirak,
Slipped and fell upon her back,
Upside down she saw the stars,
First saw Venus then saw Mars.
...

Midnight blueberries
are how I think of you
and when, and what
...

Smooth out the bed
Let it not be said
That true love lay here,
Or here conceived,
...

Standing in the rain beside the grave
I think on you old friend. You gave
Your smile to me just a week ago,
And told me how the weeks race by and flow
...

Let me get this straight.
If you are mine and I am yours
And we are one,
Then what’s the other one?
...

Over the coffee cup my eyes seek yours
Busy with English marmalade and toast,
Wondering peering through their opaque doors
Which just ajar suggest the whiff of roast
...

Let's stay at home and bask in evening light
That sprays us both with blessings through the trees
As we sit watching reruns from last night
While choosing not to fill our heads with tease
...

In the city where my son lives
I saw an eagle
...

This shower’s never hot enough
Not hot enough
However high I turn the knob
It runs hot for a minute, quite hot, then lukewarm
...

For God’s sake leave then,
Since you said you’d go
Just turn your back and walk away, you will
Find your fortune elsewhere, and you know
...
