Sunshine and Dust Motes
I am captured here
behind velvet walls,
winging birds outside the window.
Time is my bunk-mate;
Gentle Regrets
sweeten my tea:
the passon fruit has decayed
and yet
I make of this an odd contentment;
even Lonliness can be a friend
if you have no other;
I made of this my strange concoction
which grows upon you such
that its deficiences
can seem in time strangely beautiful;
but this, too, is the lonliness of knowing
no one can understand
this odd beauty

Voice Mail and Rice A-Roni
Oh, voice mail.
Ok, I just wanted you to know
that when you come over
be ready
because I don't cook
or bake;
Think Inside The Box;
like Rice a-Roni or spaghetti.
And we can stay only a while
if you come early
because of my room mates-
the drive way-don't park.
Bob will be leaving for work
and he'll get blocked in.
Everything is so complicated.
No gifts please

I'll Take That As A Yes
You were so reasonable:
'I'm thinking that both you and I need some space.'
I am thinking 'you are leaving me and trying to let me down easily.'
And you were.
'I have been feeling like both of us are going through the motions lately'
You are speaking for me and my feelings? Better to ask me how I feel.
'And I am wondering if you are really satisfied in this relationship? '
Asking me about my feelings? What about yours? Tell me about yours.'
'I have been feeling that we need to back away, moving too fast.'
Humm, is there an ideal pace?
Do you feel the need to invent space for the need to leave me?
'I think it would be good for both of us'

It's You
The Sun does not set each day
it is obscured;
its red finger-lights,
its rushing sun beams
retreat
blushed into embarrassment.
The green spot
at sunset
over water
is an exclamation point.
It's You.
I have seen the Firmament
draw its curtains closed;
I have seen Inner Night
recline on Silk-Covered Anticipations.

The Road We're On
'It's all a road we build'
he said
'you lay down the concrete
or tar for the asphalt;
you heat it
and take it through all the stages
with yellow lines
white lines-
a road has to have
boundaries and destinations.
There are the road signs:
'caution'
'soft shoulder'
'curves ahead'
'pedestrians'
'stop ahead'
'divided highway.'
'no u-turns.'

In Heaven By Mistake
He came back from Heaven
told his tale fixed-eyed
and saintly.
'I saw God on the throne' he said
'a host of angels
and people from my past
my grandmother and others
all there
smiling.
But it was clear I didn't fit.
I do not like happy
and everyone there was.
They called me in to ask why
I was not happy there.
I said I didn't know why.

Z-Without You
I will not be able to write
without
you;
There will be no new lines
or ideas;
until
I hear in my mind
you breathing;
hear two hearts beating
above this page.
Even this
next word
isn't real
unless I envision
that it will
by you read;
that it will be felt

Gauzy Friends and Youth
Add to me slithered hope
lather on time telescoped:
I aspire to grow
larger than I am.
Piece together small achievements;
test my dreams against cubicle worlds
and gauzy friends
shadow boxing.
I cannot yet define who I am
so I invent pieces of me
to fill in the gaps reality leaves
in between
traces of my apartment life.
How can I mature
in these panoplies
where I never see
experience full-scoped?

Love's Time
If you trace a finger in the air
will it land finger tip on my mouth?
If you write love notes with your eyes
will my heart cry out?
If I step lightly here
move my skirt just slightly;
will you see?
Can I flirt with you
and see
your waterfall
come gushing
down the hill?
I dance
in my wedding dress
unchosen yet
but worry will you like it?
