Cacoethes

...I love having—
hating the feeling of wanting.

I steal casually,
like second breaths after waking,
or proper newborns latched onto Mama’s ni...

Our Love Abiding

...Wave a magic wand.
Bring me to the pond
we two slowly strolled around.
Hand in hand, our walk, 
in soft tones, our talk, 
as, new love, we surely found. 

Overhanging trees,

Lost Track of a Ginger Snap

...Get in your room now,” as daddy fashioned a gun.

Mom grabbed me and her facial expression was undone,
something must be wrong,

Like an accused convict under cover.

Sunlight peeks through the leaves.

the bower bounce on which to live
outlasting all the blooms and bells of time
sweet to inhale in fresh woods and on sunflower hills

in an ever-changing dance

inches from
a ledge overhanging the sky

below me
rock ravens circle
on warm thermals
a tiny village
has dug itself
into a deeper world
