I will ask your eyes for permission
To enter the space of your aura.
And if you grant it to me,
I will raise my mouth to
Sweetly kiss your cheeks
As one would greet an old . . . more

My eyes open with the dawn
and I gasp in wonder
at the beauty of Your sunrise,
each one different from the last.
All creation sings
as the promise of a new day is revealed,

Alone in the darkness,
I stand at my window
and gaze down on my deserted block,
barely lit by a single street lamp.
Suddenly, I see him,
The old man sitting lonely
On the September cold, . . . more

The hourglass was now empty
And suddenly she was out of time,
So she walked away from a life
That no longer seemed to rhyme.
The sand had slipped through her fingers
Through a crack in the bottom . . . more

We strive for the secret,
Yet never quite reach it.
And the old are still the young
With grayer hair and paper skin,
While the child plays house
In Mama's clothes,
Innocent, yet knowing. . . . more

I used to keep my heart
In a woven wicker basket
On a cluttered closet shelf.

You came along one day
bringing candied sunshine on a stick,
I put it away in a black box . . . more

Splash of yellow
Breaking through winter's ground
Warmth of spring is soon approaching
Death fades

Stirring coffee with sugared spoon,
she prays for noon,
reads the paper,
eats her fiber
wondering if she should go walk
or sit and balk,
dreaming of health

Moonglo,

longing
of a heart that glimmers
waiting for

I remember how excited I would get as a child
whenever the carnival came to town;
Pure magic...
Hay on the ground,
the smell of hot dogs and candy apples,
neon lights blinking on dizzying rides . . . more

Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts . . . more

Kiss me under the apple tree
as blossoms fall like rain
dancing through the air so free;
Kiss me again and again!
Kiss me on the hillside
as we lie on our grassy bed
with the sun . . . more

Seeking crumbs of affection,
Looking in each possible direction,
Hoping to receive,
Eager to believe
that there is love
Praying that time's on my side
As I swallow my foolish pride . . . more

breasts straining against the . . . more
