advancing eternities
this work is joy
paid in continuance
the gift of your presence
makes gold look cheap
grew up with slow tea
now black as coffee
these stars guided ships
long before they fell
extending life
via living fully
skeleton umbrella
windtorn ,restless
i was thinking of you
(rather,feeling...
furniture has auras
and ghosts
drinking memories
thirsty for more
even the thought of water
makes crops rise
trees before-afterward-
ghost trees
your listening ear
hears between lines
i am not waiting for...
this is enough.
bus full of strangers
this earth
my cat strays
not far from her food bowl
used to work ships
both of us landlocked
why do we pose for cameras?
they do not care.
this wind will take some spirits away
bringing new ones in today
Christmas shopping-
Malled by bright lights
she cannot chew meat
(my godmothers false teeth)
massaging knots of fear
into harmonies of healing
strangers in a coffee shop
loving remote laptops
cigarette smokers-pariahs
of New Puritanism
censoring our past
limits our futures
humming democratic tunes
forgotten the words?
ant lines towards sweetness
micro-us
something moves us/despite us
and is thereby moved again
Fall in to Winter
can we change seasons?
by shadows ,we know
the flickering of futures
photography does not capture-
it releases!
in the naming of worlds and planets
we forget our selves
comparing what happened before
with what will not happen next
library to GOOGLE
who Illuminates these Manuscripts?
my cat rubs up against my leg
to reassure both of us
tea leaf fortune
displaced by tea bags
orange as a traffic cone
standing to attention
barnacled boats cling to beaches
in memories of tides
antique shop price tags
no longer historic
coins in your pocket
ask for more change
in the second hand book-
inscriptions to unknown lovers
now the day /mails away
more goodwill stacked in lines
ends are beginnings
of gifts at your eyes door
