making way for new green buds
i don’t mind waiting

soft after just a small rain

how you set my heart a-quake

i want to spy on your sleep
and hear you whisper my name

Poem 20160301b
the farther away
someone is from you
increases how much
you miss them
you must be
on the other side
of the universe
if gravity
didn’t operate
on an inverse square
my atoms
would be torn apart
by the distance between us

Poem 20160226c
in shorthand
i nod
you nod
shake my head
a shake of your own
this warm familiarity
each of us a lung
drawing the same breath
in one body
moving beyond recounting
or even paraphrasing
our dreams
Poem 20160225c
silent birds
there will be no spring
no blossoms
no green buds
to reach for the yellow sun
no signaled ending
winter sleeps
and in his flawed dream
his eyes close
then open
a cold world shot through with ice
white intensity
