How
Are you expecting
To round them corners
Wearin’ just that plus nothing
Will
Yourself to rocket
To make it home
Holdin’ just cold, hard steel
Jazz
Love I’m learning
Is loving aloneness
I’m learning love
And: A Haiku
You will fade away
It’s just me and I’m sorry
I wanted the whole
glancing down: A Haiku
She’ll wear her hair loose
and a white scarf to cover
his sins ‘gainst her heart
That saturday: A Haiku
They’ll photograph us
Just This Once here in the vast
Where old stars are born
June Rose
You
Over there shaded
In a box blue-green
In the farthest corner now
Flower exact for me or else
A slight tilted wrist
An effort needed to nurture you
Be more than the mind can extend
His
I remembered yesterday
I’d forgotten you
Today
Help me to know you
To ask you
Let me forget them
Let them forget me
Again
And for good
Afraid
Afraid
‘Tis true she might be God’s great answer
Her need may be too wide to bear
She’ll drown you that intellectual dancer
You’d live your life without her care
it’ll hurt
Thus the problem
We all want the sugar you’re selling
The Voice you’re projecting
For free
‘neath it all your whisper
Telling
It’s already gone
Shot
From your lips’ fingertips
To our bloodstream
tucked
I will find the moment
That you Don’t notice
And I will place your hand
Where it is home
