As You Wish
Show Him Every Star
For the first time, I cradle him
he is dense and warm like a loaf of freshly baked bread
The smell of life
waiting
to take shape
envelops me in a puff
of
coral wind
as planets curl and twist
on the horizon
I show him where the soil turns
and softens in the rain
so that beauty may bloom
He too
was once a bud
waiting to come forth
in the tender light of June

The Beat Goes On
we are now and ever will be apart
ceaseless
i must endure
the maddening rhythm
the poorly timed beats
of this atrophied heart

A Very Blustery Day
a glorious gust
of bellowing wind
swept me up
and blew me round
through honey-colored
dew and lace
above the tame and hollow town
the thrill of flight
was full
but brief
for dust that travels
with the breeze
must always settle in the ground
in cracking bricks
of dismal peace

The Last Swim
indulge in the shallow pleasure of swimming on your surface
the gorgeous pressure of diving deep
the beautiful inability to breathe
evades me
your simple swells
your storms so brief
if only some salacious satisfaction were to lurk beneath
