You forget the purple
You forget the soft
You forget the purple and the soft
You decide to trust
You decide to smile
You decide to trust and to smile
solstice
I wonder if I can be found
At the perfect
I here, there with you
When you think you are crumpled
In the dark
And lost to the light
No
I need not wonder
I know
I was gifted
This cape
And in Summer you were born
Li’l: A Haiku
Your pitter-pattered
Rising, falling breaths of love
All I need ever
Void
Reach
Into the empty
Say not I want
Say I have
Decide
The illusory is real
For you too
Grasp
Usurped
Into my eyeballs
And the brain that commands them
Into my heart
And the fingertips that can’t quite be
Into the gritting of my teeth
You etched words
Threat: A Haiku
When asked to make space
The now obvious answer
All the space I can
his Plan
We thought
he was muttering
To himself
We got closer
he got louder
Too late
We learned
he was laughing
To US
The Rough
What can one suppose
All the time spent
Kicking
This diamond
Cursing the dirt and bright light
Playing for fame
Not the love of the game
inexplicable
The overturned stone
The crushed twig
Lying there
Go back
Go back
Unsee
Unwonder
Un-ask
A Day
Let the soft, feathery white
Float down
Over your eyes
Throw prayers to the wind
Blow kisses in the dark
Vow love
Call it
