Sunset
the closing of the day
Distance
i thought you were alone,
but there were two other geese
roaming the field,
and when we walked by
you called out loudly
to them?
to me?
we were all at attention,
your intention was clear–
i walked by gently,
loving you from a distance
Pink Petals
delicate pink petals
pinch my heart–
the memories come flooding,
tumbling,
racing
into the space that is now,
that was then,
that was when
we were young
greenhouse and grounds
it wasn’t the glass ceiling
that was so infinitely appealing,
or the greens or the pinks
or the deep porcelain sinks–
it was the shabby
and the rough
and the marks and the scuffs
and the weeds and small seeds
and the rambling reeds–
it was the crumbling paint
and the rust and the faint
outline and shadow of the earth laying fallow
that i liked and understood
Weeds
“They should get rid of all these weeds in these plants,” she said.
but i liked the way it looked,
exactly as it was–
beautiful weeds and all
Taste
the earth clings to your skin–
i crave your taste
Minutes
tiny, tender minutes in time–
little and brittle
and treasured,
like preserved crimson flowers
on a sunny spring day
Every Waking Moment
Every waking moment i’m alive
I’m searching for you
Whether i know it or not
Or whether i realize
Every waking moment i’m alive
I’m searching for you

Green Ferns
looking at you
i can see the dinosaurs roam
i can feel the earth tremble
i can hear the roars as the pterosaurs soar
