Notes About The Poem

Pin the Day Upon Me

In this brief space stand we naked 
Held to breast with clinging fingers 

Shaped with feeling gived and given 
Wanted or not, we do not singly move.  

Glance upon our naked masks
Laugh inward at the outward play

Playing with the earnest hunger
Of a stalking wolf

Be pleased or not 
A moment sliced in two

Strip veneers of weed strewn years 
Away 
With tears of laughters joy

Soaring without bounds 
This broad expanding soul

Sometimes 
Unrecognizable as our own

Pin the day upon me 
Worn for all to see
Whatever else you do however, 

Never let me be
