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
Knowledge: A Haiku
A revelation
Last June it became four years
Of one set of eyes
“like a bee”
Break these bones
Try
Break them again
I’ll meet you where you found me
At the mat
Off the ropes
On my feet
O’Keeffe
What color
Was it
When I
Kissed you
