It is a beautiful number, when you consider it carefully. The gentle “l” sound, followed by another “e” not in your face “Eeee” but an “eh” that reminds us it’s more modest that it looks. “Ven” to see, I see, they saw? I don’t remember conjugation well but I do remember the eleventh of September.Continue reading “Eleven”

Here, Again
(love) held me on this bench at a different time — a year or two past, September from last spring. I pop up from the ground fall planting miracles around me . What an era. What a time to be wearing a mask with a knowledgable woman who knows the names of books, and shapes,Continue reading “Here, Again”
New York June
Oh, you have me patient, my love, waiting for this long to know if you are out there or not can’t you not just come around, show yourself at a party, on a plate — let me eat you up for our first meal, then ask you on a date. Oh, I am so readyContinue reading “New York June”
Storyline
These television shows they don’t get old, just re-installing the storyline in my brain: date date date, match – compatibility, latch How about I just be about me for a change, the only thing I want to do anyway. Stop telling me to believe in astrology; Who knows what the stars are telling us, butContinue reading “Storyline”
2020
Is time part of the game? Capital in, capital out, nothing in the middle? No room for humanity, No room for boredom; No room for shame as I sit, anxious, chatting with friends, one part future, one part ashamed of the anxiety itself. Tell me why all this money matters more thanContinue reading “2020”
Patience
What do you do when you want someone, right now, but cannot have them, can only reach out towards them, realize they want to reach, too, but, in the moment, cannot, will not, move? Do you call out their fault, remind them that they can always reach, that plans change, life happens? Do youContinue reading “Patience”
Expectations
No more blind dates and no more forced chit chat; No more rushed sentences hoping that I’ll bite back; No more London blokes and no more blonde women; No more action before meaningful reflection; No more overstepping and no more indecision; No more pedestals and slow walking pedestrians; No more deep sighs across a deeper blueContinue reading “Expectations”
( love )
What do I want my love to be? Opening, free as one can be and she will open her arms to me, singing, praying to Earth’s wings to fly again. How bright, my love, how warm your body feels when your lips meet mine… how slowly we can meet, how gentle, how soothing. He willContinue reading “( love )”
Life as She, as They
To look upon a lover and see new life coming into being… when you didn’t know that life was beyond a baby and a cradle, that this moment of one life manifested with another that is god damn beautiful enough to allow a new life to emerge– a love that is a life itself. Continue reading “Life as She, as They”
A Song For You
To write a song for you… I’m not sure that would be enough to conquer all the land mines and droughts of ego, to call back love and light and mystery all in their due time. You are an angel from a sky I have not seen; you are a fighter sent to battle withContinue reading “A Song For You”
