I'm Not Through Yet

state-bound conversation leading to

deconstruct the hour with kindness

no preparatory or plan is necessary from

the start an easy and thinking flowing being

is in the shadows making right

three nights and days holding down gold

and still into you

Folly Race

let you slip down with a fork in one hand

watch you tumble over rocks with no clothes

then miss the hold with one foot forward

direct you to the corner store

would rather see you fall and

shed tears on the table then give

a helping hand dollar note word

how beautiful the human race

misty and cool with germs of a cold

a man or woman has no sleeve to

dance in

10:00 AM

much stillness following a rush
at my window a chill
left by a man's decisiveness
at his shirt a stained mark showing
a folly for hunger to power
her skirt tossed across one leg
admires the nice morning cool
sent in a message from outside
the day is here

Who's Knocking?

ringing at 4:30am and knocking at 9:30am

fatal to my voice or the sight of my bare back

working up an appetite for many of the feline

type what you need, i'm on to you

take it slow change your speed stay in your lane

it doesn't feel itself seen and touched - love

is just a view that doesn't always see itself

she who rose like the moon

can keep the light shinning within

with or without you

seen caught or heard

Long Roots

the dentist said, "you have the longest roots i've ever seen".

from where did they come? i thought.

hours of reggae music, hundreds of reggae shows,

a couple of rasta/dread boyfriends, Italian blood?

ital food or deep thinking?

should i feel encouraged or enthusiastic? if my roots

are so long and strong, why are my teeth so fragile and week?

which organ runs into the roots and does a different organ run

to the bone?

a chinese dentist, a hispanic secretary, and an italian- german-dutch patient!

Tree Spheres

spheres in the trees with two windows and a bed
wood on wood and body and body
my eyes catch the hair on your face
spinning trends in houses balanced by my smile
a leaf in the hand and one at my door
i think i'm home
Canada per night $120
steep and catching a breeze
the green movement
is tempted to bark and scratch
where will that get us?

The World Is As It Is

some outer ones got on the inside and trouble

regular and usual joy

like a candle holder

i designed the next spinal cord and left

a kiss on the head

holding our core to a chain reaction

living to the bone

Beauty & The Beast

francesca with the right number song and chair

pulled over through the right sense

another vibe out of the window

wood be right back

can i get it can i rent it can i buy it can i wear it can i own it can i read it can i keep it can i

and i

live it?

A Lifetime Of + And -

scratching a living at the door a wolf steps with nails flexed
waiting for food and cheer upon an ear
down the street handsome as a living oak
the man with long hair
sends messages with a stroke
unbending connection lasts
for hours of a loving treatment
today, is my birth day.
