Even after measuring all of the amounts;
With disdain;

the black stones rolling
green tendrils winding
she turns into a rock

the ocean with
the chalice of
blood...

Or a way to exhaust
A fleeting need for pleasure....

When I am working in the kitchen
Removing my warm mittens
Pouring and measuring
Mixing and stirring
Preparing a sumptuous meal
Of some curry or veal
And when asked for seconds
My eyes glitter like diamonds...

Embracing each other different places
Measuring all the feelings inside
Induced into a constant river of love
Never to dry out or to stop
Immensely into the silent cold drop...

I was not expecting to see big foot’s prints in the snow
When I came upon them to my horse I yelled “whoa!”
Took out my turquoise tape and measured one of them too.
Sixteen inches long, and the width was longer than my boo....
