Sad,
the only times
we got along
were when I
was your
audience
carefully we drew her out

all tidy with reason, wearing

us down

I looked over
Saw her take your hand
Reminding me of a time
That never existed
And yet
I wanted so badly
To go there
Dad daughter bond
I asked myself
Is this girl the one?
She’s pale and thin
Must be from lack of sun
She worships me
But it’s all in fun
She lets me speak
Listens till I’m done
She cooks and cleans
And smiles as she does
She puts things back
Just the way it was
And I value that
Just because
Just because

Jerusalem was brown
Tel Aviv was blue
Vienna aglow in slow
I try to break on through

I write because I ...
I try. I really do.

bright was your smile at midnight,

a U-shaped row of stars,

marring such a pretty waste of dark.

About a guitar
maybe a man with one?

or better yet
a metallic pigment?

it was

the cut of your jib the tone
of your voice

you wonder why
I did

what I did

I wonder why
you left me no choice
An impressionistic word painting.

Not that I don"t remember
how you stood in the hallway
and looked at me from away
filling my heart with an amber
like yellowness of sorrow
until that day we’d always been daisy like
in a naturally popped up joy
unexpectedly there like daisies
through many different colors
shining easily in all seasons
truly sunny and funny
and  all cheerful
innocent and pure
Soothing, relaxing and healing
We were playful  “love me or not”daisies
When all were plucked, it was aways a “loves me”
That day when you stood there
everything turned amber
beautiful but cold
Enticing but distant
Graceful but still
like fossilized trees

Rhyming rues
and woes
Sorrows
laden with
reincarnated regrets

Wounds of my age
irremediable
