OH to be Summer
That most fortunate season
When her skin feels bare

Grand Daughter
What won’drous hair
Long, silken and grey
Just happy to be
In the warmth of today
Not longing for when
It flowed in long brown
But considering
Itself proud on my crown
i said in stilettos
i imagine you’re wearing
that wild in your eyes
regardless of the creatures
within
and
around
i prayed that way
To Let Me
I wish I had a rocking chair
And while I was slow-swaying there
I’d make a list of all my dares
Then whisper them into the air….
With Each Cup
Each morning I think
You’ll find me, time
In the beauty that I walk with
At midday I’m sure
That you’re afraid
Of the clutter of my first name
With evening I wish
You’d peel away
My frazzle before we sleep
Pulled
I watch
As from afar
You count them
The near-missed curves
And the angles
Maddeningly calculate
Keep staring
Blankly
Into the tonic
While the true
Keeps calling you
From your virtual walk
Sound Ground
Since I was seven
Or sooner
I’d the biggest biceps
The fleetest feet
See how I saved you
Before you knew to feel
Afraid
All it is now is late
Tho’ fixed more mighty than then
I’m ready to jump
Jump
Jump
And this time
Let you catch me
To Amuse
What more did you foresee my sweet
What I would burn
As the early sun hiding shone on nonetheless
Was it a known or a guess
Say how you strived to see to the future
This humble talk
I am owed your victorious regale
I, Ophelia
I long for a hamlet
That’s all I will say
I won’t ask the point on the globe
Whence its green, life springs forth
A quiet and True north
There again I know I’ll hear my soul
With Poetry: A Haiku
I trust that by now
Your hands have healed completely
And her gloves are off
Your door I’ll keep closed
And your peace will be my peace
Sister please hold him
