"Song Of Solomon"


good old Solomon of the wise,
offered to part a child by slice,
the caring mother she went crook,
so he gave the babe to that old chook,   (the real mother)
 not otherwise....
other mother got denied.
unhooked....

I eye you
behind the nudes of the dying light! 

The dark water is sucking the muted sky, 
you breathe inside! 

Canopy above 
lost in sight! 

I feel more azures
And the final notes you left unhooked...


Six a.m, 
I could better mind, 
the silence of the rustling silk; 
on the spots of yellow lights lying in the bed


growing fade ……………...

He had a duffel coat once,
so did she. They must have looked
well-matched
walking in Regents Park

They wore them still.
One day
her duffel was neatly folded,
into a labeled, cardboard box.

His coat developed Alzheimer’s
in a tumble-down closet.

When they unhooked from each other,
he packed only empty pockets,
and a small bundled
of toggles and loops.

A leaf fell from the Maple tree;
Another from the Birch--
A dozen more unhooked themselves
From off their lofty perch.

Some fell to heaps upon the ground;

To the nearly barren trees.

And I took the winter as a thief
Since it pillaged every tree--
Recalling just how green and full
The branches used to be.

Reminding me again--
That winter is no place for leaves,
But rather snow, and rain!
