Lucky Charms

I think I want to write about you, now and how you weren’t just another girl off the street, like so many people I meet.I want candor, I want graceI want someone who walks and dances with some paceand on our mutual friend’s birthday, you did just that. You walked in: black, flared pants withContinue reading “Lucky Charms”

Chance

She is so much and then some — I cannot go into skin and mind detail or I will become a balloon, released into the sky. Kissing is something I’d do to taste all of you, not part. (Note: next time you’re on a park bench, pay attention to her eye color). Floating bodies orContinue reading “Chance”
