I pray for
reflective souls, not
a beautiful reflection and
peaceful minds and protests, not
waters or discussions
and always always
Infectious
love.

She came in mid air
Made me forget my own name
And life before her

HAIKU
If we can contain
sadness, we become larger
containers for love

weird ones wear no tags
others rush to pin their words
on our wild edges

what am I
some
sort of
#creature
that inhabits
our planet
what am I
do I have a soul
what am I
am I a result
of certain
conditions
all coming together
what am I
who am I
why do I live
hold me close
just now
kiss me
for I feel lost
in this uncertain
world

new year's slow start
by the cold water's edge
shorebirds searching

-
words fade into birdsong;
my heart succumbs
to their lyric,
i have found my locus,

here,
where love is no longer
an abstraction,

but instead,
a meadow of wildflowers,
thick with pollen
and color unbounded.

the whole world will #dream
of a fresh untarnished year
for at least one day

I don’t want
fireworks or
resolutions
or a calendar
heavy with
promises.
All I carry into
the new year
is a quiet dream
of your hands
choosing mine
without hesitation.
Let the months
be ordinary
and the days
unremarkable.
If they end
with your love,
I already have
everything.

Determined daffodils
Raucously race
Enveloping entire
Avenues and archipelagos
Merrily multiplying.

Tantalizing
Rides
Along arbored avenues,
Veiled voices
Echoing ethereal epochs, even
Lighting life.
