two lovers 
together
on a seesaw
one on each end
going up and down

in opposite directions
with one heartbeat

And high impulsive love is here with rain
From leaves and all directions of desire,
Hot arms of night now and lights of fire!

Tree

Life is like a tree
              we branch out in all directions
              but it's the branch we hang on

Life In Music

In my dream I was in a record player,
On and track that kept spinning,
The music blasting from all directions,
Then it stops and everything went silent and still.

Eye Knew It

Eye knew it

The dirty fly has compound eyes 
It sees in all directions
A swatter swats it anyway
So much for eye protection

Doomed Association Game

I look into your eyes 
And I’m safe 
And I’m six years old 
And you tell me there is no God 
And I’m twelve
And my parents are driving home in opposite directions
