Thirty Nine
My father said
Short poems like these aren't poems at all
But rather a sentence
A box too small to hold metaphors, similes and emotion
Tardy?
hardly
awake before I have to be
premature
something or other
but
that's me
and I make no
apology

She loves me
anyway,.

our sister sings her siren songs
lapping at our earthen feet

a lover of days and star filled nights
she washes ashore two beats of her heart

-each wavelet filled with eons
and fish dancing in moonlight.
