sweet little light
how you flicker
like a fairy caught
in a darkened kitchen
you are a winged heart
and you sing as you soar
if only you weren’t so small
or this room so dark
or you voice so hard to hear

Poem 20150204
the moon hangs full and ripe
like a melon
like a breast
like a motorcycle headlight
like an eye
like a cookie
like an alka seltzer tablet
like a window into another world
like a cold princess’s smile
like an angel’s star-shattering voice
like a fairy’s reflection in still water
like a dumpling in a steamer basket
