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

Amber Jade
She clutched with warm, weakened fingers
At the cold, cold concrete
Fallen
On purpose to remind herself
She would never, never
Never, never win that dance
In the contest she didn’t know she’d entered
Happy
I know you’re wrapped in bedhead
Blue
That I’ll never get my blanket
Back
That you don’t own a funny
Bicycle
That a fast one, you are
But
I know I’m happy I never left you
smiths
formed as weapons
unknowingly at times
or to intimidate so someone feels big
who will craft them
so they are not them at all
but friends with tiny heartbeats
My Mystery
This primal laughter
This quiet cry
Comes
From the peaceful place
That knows you know me
Whether you know it
Is my mystery
Thank you
Huddle: A Haiku
Mostly Mist
I knew the moment was thick
I knew the air was ripe
And Summer was coming with flowers and all
I’ve not seen such storms since
Electric and flashing nonstop at night
And the garden gave proof at daylight
I knew there were miles to run
I knew there’d be whirring wheels down unknown roads
And I let white petal-thoughts lead
I’d not thought that Fall I’d fall
Rising then falling again and again
And I’ve touched no sweet blooms at all
Almost To Harbor
in ruby shoes
Tonight
Be healed
Outside
Under the stars
Or the stars above the clouds
With warmth
And friends
Around your neck or underfoot
Be healed
