Your love is like skydiving,
   an unnerving thought,
breathless & intoxicating
  elevations beyond exhilarating,
  as it transforms life's panorama
    nothing seemed ever the same,
         after the thrill of the fall

the world is upside down, at least half the time

Her perfumed essence
  still fragrances the air
         in her absence

Love is the consequence of you

I ate all the stars last night
every single one
Then I had a comet cone for dessert
Now I have starburn
and I'm burping up rays of light
that sunburn my throat

The comet cone was too sugary
So I let it spew away
Now I have to learn
all the new constellations
And of course
it's all Confucius

The impervious nature
of humankind littering the beaches,
painting a repugnant scene
upon a breathtaking canvas.
Paper wins again.

She called us granddaughters

Not by blood, but by love

that cage you built around yourself... oh you didn't know

we are not stewards of Earth, she looks after us

calf’s eyes sparkle
it’s mothers are dull
repetition kills joy

when youth thinks it knows wisdom laughs, but also watches
