Oh 1:19am
How you give me the nod
To reach out in the dark
To wish for what’s sweetest
To say what I ought
To at last let go
As I close my eyes
And fall back
Again
Now
Will we always want more
This may be all we’re given
Allowed just this moment
With just this breath aligned
Are we alright with that
Veiled
To tip-toe eternal I am able
Though are you not bored with this gentle dance
Have you not tired of the dusty curtain calls
Or watched enough of me in the wings
Can I not come crashing through
And at your feet petition truth
I recall tenderness I could not have imagined
I pray and I trust you are warm with mercy
Where have I spent these years
Will the rest be so cold
Jersey: A Haiku
At day’s end I fall
into the red not having
known the poem of you.
Steady Now
Cry, cry, cry
The entire walk home
Should you need to
Just jut that jaw still
And lift those eyes hill-ward
That all must be well
Sport: A Haiku
Here beyond the first
base line, I believe you can
get all the way home.
Space
So many sitting side by side
It feels old
Go over there
Far
We will steal chances
To see the whole of the other
From time to time weave to and fro’
And I will watch
The work of you
The seeds that sow from you
Say that to me
Kin: A Haiku
Unsettled I am
Reflecting on the fine line
Hope and Delusion
Watching Them
Red-blooded bird
Black mask stealing
Her olive heart
Full speed ahead
Swift wings chasing
Strong wings
Her tangerine mouth
Mocks that lovely feathered cone
Atop that busy head
She forages below
What does she know
He thinks
Brink
We force shadows
Calling darkness all the brilliance
Why
For what high purpose
This low comfort
Push, gasping for dear life
Step finally through
It is dawn now
The harpist begins soon
Everything need not ache
