There's kindness in the breast for he that
Strays in ways gods ...

That distant part of me
Never to be lonely
In the mind of my "one and only"

So fair and lovely, beautiful

waiting for Jimmy, a soccer star.
He's taking longer these days, it seems;

Inklings of Spring
...Winter finally moves his lumpen sluggish weight,
Spring is like a shy dryad shivering in his arms
Wind's whippets droop to trifling whine

I fled through an open window,
Butterflies aflight
In the very pit of me,
