the wind whips the willow tree
as if it didn’t have enough to be sad about
its branches bow
some bent but not broken

new branches will come
sorrow will go
it will learn that
when it bends
it can survive

life sways like a swing
hopeful, regrets - back and forth
until ripe old age

we are infinite
more energy than the sun
time cannot hold us

i've never known love like this

a love that stays

as the moments fade

your hand slips into mine

filling the spaces

where time once slipped away

meek misty morning
momentarily missing
my motivation

cheap wine, lemongrass
vinyl crackling soft, yet full
two thousand nights gone
dylan's blue harmonica
i associate with you

frost blankets the yard
song bird has flown far away
tuneless winter day

warm yellow summer
comes to an end, leaves tremble
fall to earth, decay

One egg,
with a single slice of bacon

Shot glass of orange juice
clear, no pulp

Measured, delicate,
as if the morning itself
could be too heavy to hold

I set the table quietly,
but the chair is empty.

I miss you.

her presence was felt
before she entered the room
i wish i knew then
how the stars and moon
would kiss her neck
coruscating her amulet
with a spectrum of colors
rose pedals fall
sweet smell of chocolate

If you can,
give yourself to someone
wholly, without retreat.
For what beauty can create,
love can surely destroy.

A healthy regimen
Twice a day recommended
And don't forget it
Because nobody believes
In serendipity

When he strummed his guitar
He had a numinous presence
I never saw him worry
Confident and comfortable
He had a plethora of supporters
They treasured him
I wanted to relate

Lost our alchemy
Internal exegesis
Become whole again

Ringing loudly from speakers
Entrained the dancers

Understand
Nourishment of the soul
Finding inner peace
Open up
Learn to evolve
Do not prohibit yourself

Zebrine kimono
Hangs heartsick in our wardrobe
Bare house reflections

Authoritarian barbarian ultracrepidarian
Tariff sheriff zygote gloat
Pussy palming cutthroat

Your war swore more for poor
Axes taxes former foreigner
Crashing country mourner

Fingers give a soft kiss to keys
Decrescendo into summer breeze
The future blows mellisonant and free
Awaiting the past to let go of me
