The puzzle pieces I knew I could fit together, if given a lifetime
Why will my fingers never fumble and finally find the picture of you
How big the whole of you, the hole left in me
Staid
Absolutely as a mountain
Vast, ancient, complex
Unexplored by my eyes
Why?
Climb, I, your climate zones
Your staid steadies my feet
How am I to take nothing
This all you wish to give
Inhale a meditative Love
Exhale acceptance, heart
Come away untouched
Forbid!
Hamstringed
Somewhere between rounding third
And sliding into home
I’m hamstringed
I stop
I fall
I decide
I’ll not be tagged
There in the middle-ground
Could I crawl back and recover?
Counting on my brother’s full count
His double
Sweet time
His home run hit
Sweet savior
Instead I stand again
A fool, for certain
A rocket gone awry, we’ll see
But to the delight of the crowd
I seek home
Love-Based: A Haiku
These ingredients
I’ll be as water for you
You’ll be my sugar
Education
It is a new cup, a blessedly empty cup, staring at me
I thought I knew no thirst
There you stand, eyes upon me too
Teacher, mentor, friend
In full passion
Larger than life’s lessons, thus far
Red-hot tea kettle in one hand
Abundance in the other
And I, with great thirst, indeed, am ready to receive
unbothered
Pieces and parts
Never a whole
Never a woman worthy
Always too much
Less than enough
Less than a dance deserving
Such Ado
Oh go, wind
Leave at a speed faster than you are
And for once, have silence be your sound
How dare you awaken me
To the truth of the night
How dare you remind me
I am alone, and the chafe
Act sovereign, but know
I and the Sun
We will be here still, when you’re gone
Kept: A Haiku
I was only there
To make it all seem legit
You didn’t need me
Now Let’s Do This Thing
A single seed, plant with me.
Name it with wishes and might and endeavor for it.
In the dark, early mornings, remember that it needs our care.
Let it feed us when the day’s shadows are exhaustingly long.
Plant this seed with me.
Late
